Depths of the wastelands of hell. A peaceful and eternal day of excruciating torture. Suddenly a loud barking sounds, it’s the malebranche devils running from one side to the other looking for their King: the terrible Satan.
A thousand thousand souls have arrived on the banks of the Styx, suddenly taken to the other world by a lightning plague. bubonic, smallpox, murderous and cowardly. Hades is suddenly clogged and Minos, merciless judge of souls, is forced to make immortal leaps to examine everyone’s sins.
The operations are slow, the spirits protest, rebel, insults and some bad words fly. Beelzebub, with profound wisdom, offers a discount on the sentence to the souls of three jesters, Zuan Polo, Domenico Tagliacalze and Pietro Gonnella to return to doing what he did best in life: entertaining.
The show draws from the ancient art of the jester, the entertainer par excellence, the most devoted lover of laughter.
