Meet the Artists
Playwright/ Director/ Set & Costume Designer
Giulio Cesare Perrone Giulio’s approach to theater, informed by his experience and training in the U.S. and Europe, emphasizes the physical aspects of movement and dance, and the central role of the actors/ performers/ creators in the creative process. The artistic importance of scenery always incorporates live music, and often video as well. As a writer, designer, and director, Giulio has been recognized with two prestigious Pew Grants and several industry awards. His commitment to making and supporting progressive, traditional, and non-traditional forms of theater and programs gives voice to the many urgent cultural narratives that have been historically excluded from theater throughout his lifetime. He moved from his native Italy to the United States in 1995. Now a U.S. resident, Giulio has over 300 theater and opera productions to his credit. He is the Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Inferno Theatre.
