The Dark Wood is not just a place that Dante finds himself lost in. The Dark Wood is a state of mind. It is not only exile from the perfections of sanity. It is an untethering from what was known before. This comes with the demand of having to find a new way to be. The Dark Wood is a mind in pain, disorientated and held tightly by the unknown. In the Dark Wood, Dante felt the beginning unearth itself, and so should we. While the audience is settling in they must become unsettled. To be in the Dark Wood, the birth place of the beginning, is for the Dark Wood to inhabit one’s mind.The sacred hum of Inferno’s opening lines is joined by its translations. However, the translations are not synchronised to their source. Rather, the translations almost perforate the lucidity of Dante’s Italian text. The poetics are there but incongruous. The beauty is being pierced as if each translated line is a needle. What is important is that when the translations are introduced they are not spoken harshly but are instead also chanted. The alienation the voices wish to cause is a slow conquering. Strangeness is suggested before it overwhelms.
