Co-commissioned by Barbican and SPILL Festival. Romeo Castellucci returns to the Barbican with a haunting new creation. As an uncompromising theatre maker, he creates work that is at once beautiful, powerful and at times unsettling to watch. Together with Societas Raffaello Sanzio, this visionary director continues to inspire. In 2009, bite and SPILL festival co-commissioned the UK premiere of Castellucci’s Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso - freely inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God explores the notion of Jesus as icon. The action takes place in front of a giant Renaissance image of Christ. Castellucci uses his signature theatrical language to question mystical and theological manifestations, in this powerful and unsettling piece. Running time: 60mins with no interval. Age guidance: 15+.Director Societas Raffaello Sanzio. Director Romeo Castellucci. Music Scott Gibbons. Performer Gianna Plazzi. Performer Sergio Scarlatella. Performer Dario Boldrini.
