Marco Martinelli and Ermanna Montanari have come up with an act of hope for 2021, the year of the seven hundredth anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death: their verso Paradiso is a one-night happening, from dusk to dawn, featuring the integral reading of the thirty-three Cantos of Paradiso by all the actors of their own company, Le Albe, and the actresses and the actors who work in Ravenna. verso Paradisopoints to their Cantiere Dante, to return in 2022 with a full staging of the Comedy,from the ‘dark wood’ to the dazzling light of Paradise, once again with all the citizens of the Public Call. Marco Martinelli will guide us through this project in a sort of diary, published online at doppiozero.com from April 25 to the end of June, with contributions by various scholars and artists.
