As a place of atonement, subversion and chaos, hell is an imaginary place that, more than any other, has inspired preachers of all kinds and numerous artists. Because Hell is here, and Hell is not the others, it is us.
We are also those who laugh about it: Roberto Castello devises a tragedy in the guise of a seductive comedy and takes advantage of it to poke fun at the triteness of life, in a twirling barrage of scenes and characters, suspensions and frenzied rhythms. It’s don’t give a damn about death or don’t give a damn about style!
But behind the seemingly flippant exterior, there is an architecture of movement, a precision of gesture, a mastery of the image that lends the humour its double meaning and its brilliant radiance.
