Divina Commedia 2.0 – Inferno International Tour

A contemporary music and visual arts show — 8.11.2025 18:00

What would Hell look like today? What sins define our era?

The international tour "Divina Commedia 2.0 – Inferno" reinterprets Dante's vision through a multimedia show that brings together 20 artists – 9 composers and 9 visual artists – alongside the musicians of Duo HESPERUS (Costin Soare and Ioan Bănescu). Nine works composed for the first time in Romania for guitar duo and tape will be accompanied by original video projections (animation, photography, film), creating an intense and contemporary audio-visual experience.
The sins of the medieval world—gluttony, greed, boasting, wrath—are reinterpreted in the mirror of the present: hyper-consumption, instrumentalized sexuality, digital manipulation, media narcissism. It is a contemporary Inferno, where the guitar becomes a miniature orchestra and the electronic band amplifies the voices of the present.

A project about our limits and about art as a way of crossing them.

The last stop of the tour, which took place in six cities in Romania and abroad, is at Casa Tranzit in Cluj-Napoca, on Saturday, November 8, starting at 7 p.m.
