2019 Season
6th Annual Contemporary Performance Diasporas Festival
June 22-23, 2019
This multicultural, interdisciplinary festival is a natural outgrowth of Inferno’s mission to link cultures and explore human relationships in space and time.
The performance pieces in this festival derive from diverse cultural roots, but all share their common development in the fertile ground of the San Francisco Bay Area, known for its spirit of collaboration and cross-pollination.

Metamorphoses
October 11-27, 2019
Inferno Theatre presents Giulio Cesare Perrone’s adaptation of Ovid’s masterpiece Metamorphoses, a fantastic retelling of humans, animals, plants, and mythical creatures on an epic quest to save the ecosystem (and ultimately themselves) from extinction. Using movement, multimedia, music, and both ancient and modern texts as it explores the relationship between Ovid’s work, Shamanism, Climate Change, and the Human Genome Project, the production features design elements that incorporate natural, sustainable, and recycled materials.
