Bandleader and composer Ruud Voesten (ROEST, Branie.) dives into one of the world's most famous literary work from the Dark Ages: Dante Alighieri's Inferno.
In this frst part of the Divine Comedy, which is very critical on society, Dante researches his own humanity, his society and his position therein by descending through the ten rings of hell and confronting the seven capital sins.
Using Inferno as a guide and lockdown as a catalyst, Ruud explored his personal relationship to these deadly sins. Reflecting on themes of lust, anger and betrayal provided Ruud with a rich collection of connections, motifs and emotions that he incorporated into a new repertoire.
Ambrosia’ is een moeilijk te doorgronden fenomeen. Met de uitleg van componist Ruud Voesten wordt de link tussen ‘De Goddelijke Komedie’ en muziek van nú een stuk duidelijker.
