For the past twelve years, Inferno Theatre has presented a multicultural, interdisciplinary performance and arts festival as a natural outgrowth of Inferno’s mission to link cultures and explore human relationships.

Historically, this Berkeley festival has featured performance pieces with international and local cultural roots, developed, primarily, in the Bay Area.

This year, we have named our festival “Seeking The Links” between cultures of those of us who reside in the United States of America and around the world. The two-day event will premiere bold performance pieces weaving the invisible threads of our shared values of a peaceful world through art.

The festival celebrates and supports the diversity of our community through the artistic talents of local musicians, dancers, and theater artists. Now in its thirteenth year, the festival showcases the communities that make up our unique, ever-changing American mosaic. This year the Festival will present ensemble and solo theater performances, dance, music, and performance art that will tell our stories, reveal our inventions and tackle contemporary issues such as gender, race, sex, religion, politics and the environment.
