The In­ferno, Pur­ga­tory, Pa­ra­dise. After In­ferno and Pur­ga­to­rio, Emio Greco and Pie­ter C. Schol­ten conclude their ex­plo­ra­tion of Dan­te’s Di­vine Co­medy with what in our era is the most pro­ble­ma­tic of these poems.

While the In­ferno and Pur­ga­tory, worlds of suf­fe­ring and loss, find an im­me­diate echo in our contem­po­rary ex­pe­rience, how do we today en­vi­sion Pa­ra­dise, world of peace and love wi­thout rage or hate? And what if it turns out to be but a vast ex­panse consu­med by bo­re­dom?

It is in the flesh, the human, the body of the dan­cer that the two cho­reo­gra­phers seek the bea­ti­tude pro­mi­sed by Dante, in the flesh sha­red with the other, the bro­ther, where we find the pa­ra­dise of here and now in the bo­dy’s mo­ve­ment, this mo­ve­ment that ins­pires Dante in the last ter­cet: “But now was tur­ning my de­sire and will, even as a wheel that equally is moved, the love which moves the sun and the other stars.”
