Divine intervention: Wayne McGregor on choreographing Dante

Sarah Kirkup, 16th September

Wayne McGregor’s ambitious ballet based on The Divine Comedy, with a commissioned score by Thomas Adès, is finally receiving its complete premiere – exactly 700 years after Dante’s death. The choreographer talks to Sarah Kirkup about the intricate process behind this multi-arts collaboration.
