Wayne McGregor’s Compelling Adaptation of Dante’s Divine Comedy | AnOther A ballet of The Divine Comedy at Royal Opera House is a beatific coalition of choreography, sound and set – preview it here, with exclusive photographs from Mary McCartney November 29, 2023 Text Sophie Bew In Wayne McGregor ’s ballet interpretation of Dante’s Divine Comedy , Satan wears a black Lycra bodysuit, smeared almost entirely with the chalky ashes of her sins. So do each of the lost souls, who perform their sins in perpetuity and for Dante’s viewing as he tours the rings of hell.
