Theatre

The Divine Comedy of Capitalism is a theatre burlesque inspired by Dante’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy in a framework of liberal studies. Halfway along the journey of her life, lost in a dark wood and unable to find the right way, our heroine iRon Lady, an icon in our free market economy, chanced upon the gate of hell ideologically. Fortunately, she was rescued by Save Jobs, the wizard of cool gadgets and technology in the realm of consumerism. Under the guidance of the master, the iRon Lady upgraded her gizmo to iRon Nano, iRon 4S, and finally became the New iRon Lady, as they took their course from Capitalism to Communism. The scenery and colours along the way changed from gold in shiny glitters to green of the dollar bill, and eventually into blood and vermillion red. Is Master Save Jobs leading iRon Lady from hell to heaven, or casting her into the inferno abyss from heaven? Or, the worst is yet to come? Is there another hell beyond this one?
