May 21 - Dante In Gibraltar - A Talk By Charles Durante With Art Exhibition By Kristel Turner
Charles Durante, retired English teacher, and art teacher Kristel Turner, have teamed up to present a Dante for our times. The talk will introduce Dante's Divine Comedy, exploring the structure, main incidents, characters, and poetry of this masterpiece of world literature. It will highlight the most moving encounters in the three sections of Dante's poem: the Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. The exhibition will showcase Kristel's compositions, based on her interpretation of the Comedy, but providing Dante's medieval cast with a Gibraltarian setting.
