A tale of old flames, of broken hearts and open roads…
Escaping the London rain, a journey on the Underground becomes a descent into the underworld in this modern day take on Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’. From the terraces at Millwall to fashionable Milan expect shadowy encounters, dodgy connections and chance meetings with a host of poet ghosts.
‘Body 115’ is an epic poem, a tale of inner and outer journeys in explicit homage to Dante’s Divine Comedy.
From the rain-washed, subterranean underworld of Kings Cross ‘Body 115’ – the long unidentified victim of the 1987 fire – becomes Virgil to Noble’s Dante. A rhapsodic paean to the trammelling ecstasy of loss. A trans-European odyssey turned safari of the soul.
