‘The Inferno’ is a play written by Swedish playwright August Strindberg in 1897. Unlike Dante Alighieri’s famous work of the same name, Strindberg’s ‘The Inferno’ explores a psychological and existential descent into darkness. The play is a striking example of Strindberg’s expressionist and symbolic style.
Set in a bleak and surreal landscape, ‘The Inferno’ follows the journey of its protagonist, who finds himself trapped in a nightmarish world filled with bizarre and nightmarish characters. As he descends deeper into this hellish realm, he confronts his own inner demons, fears, and desires. The play delves into themes of alienation, inner torment, and the human struggle for meaning and identity.
Strindberg’s ‘The Inferno’ is a complex and enigmatic work that blurs the lines between reality and hallucination. It challenges traditional theatrical conventions and invites the audience to interpret its symbolic and psychological elements. The play’s unsettling and thought-provoking narrative continues to captivate theatergoers and scholars, making it a significant contribution to the world of dramatic literature.
