A dark dance of despair in a desolate inferno inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy
In a desolate, dark inferno based on Dante's Divine Comedy, faceless individuals wander around. In this world, it is not always clear with what intention an action departs from one to another. In a game of perception and interpretation, the audience is swallowed up in the barren land of creatures performing a dance of despair beyond that which makes them human.
SCAPEGOAT is a theatrical performance by the Belgian theatre-maker Ferenc Balcaen, in which he explores the changing boundary between pain, love and eroticism. He uses the performers' vocal identity in his own particular way, inspired by a wide auditory range, from Gregorian chants to contemporary vocal techniques. In a soundscape based on Liszt's Dante Sonata/Fantasia Quasi Sonata, SCAPEGOAT encourages the audience to think more deeply about the relationship between image, sound and intention.
