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 United States of America and around the world. The two-day event will premiere bold performance pieces weaving the invisible threads of our shared valued 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.

ABOUT INFERNO THEATRE
Inferno Theatre was founded on the premise that live theatre that leads to dynamic and positive change in the lives of all who participate in it, whether spectators or performers. The company believes that arts and education are essential parts of everyone’s daily life, that theatre can both transform reality and be an integral part of the cultural and sociological context of society. Inferno supports the centrality of the theatre art form rooted in work, research and collaborative practices that set the artists at the core of the organization; theatre that embraces the complexity and diversity of the human being; theatre that creates community (both physically present and imagined); and theatre that links humans together through a need for one another to complete a shared common interest or vision of the world.
