LASCIATE OGNE SPERANZE VOI CH’INTRATA.

Abandon every hope, who enter here.
L’Inferno, Canto III

Reading Dante on the beach today, I re-read this amazing command. Thinking about leaving hopes at the door got me to thinking about what entrance means. As theatre makers, we invite people to come to a place to see something, but what sort of things are we asking them to leave behind, abandon, as they enter? It’s like leaving your shoes at the door to keep the floor clean.

Thoughts?
