Our Piece

    

The story line to our piece was to have the audience sitting in the rings of hell and myself Parris and Nicki all had tickets which said what circle of hell we should be placed in each one of us had a little monologue to perform as this character and how they became the sinner they are today. James played Minos the who carried out the the judgement of each character Tyler played the devil himself.

9th Circle of Hell - Treachery

he had three faces: one in front bloodred;
and then another two that, just above
the midpoint of each shoulder, joined the first;
and at the crown, all three were reattached;
the right looked somewhat yellow, somewhat white;
the left in its appearance was like those
who come from where the Nile, descending, flows.

Satan is trapped in the frozen center zone of the 9th circle which is guarded by giants where the souls are trapped by ice.

8th Circle of Hell - Fraud

Pimps and seducers - Are whipped y demons
Flatters - submerged in human entrant
Simony - Head first in holes in a baptismal position with there feet on fire
Fortune tellers - Heads put on backwards
Corrupt politicians - Place into a lake of boiling pitch
Hypocrites - aimlessly walking around wearing gilded lead clocks which represents that their is more to them then meets the eye.
Thieves - Illness is put upon them
Traitors - Submerged into ice
 

7th circle of hell - Violence

Outer ring - violence against people and property sinners are immersed in a river of boiling blood and fire

Middle ring - suicides and profligates the suicides and transformed into thorny bushes and then fed upon by harpies. Profligates are forever chased and mauled by ferocious dogs.

Inner ring - violence against God and nature the blasphemers lie on a flaming sand the souls violence against nature wonder about the land getting hit by fiery flakes raining from the sky.

6th Circle of Hell - Hersey

Souls are trapped in flaming tombs

"From these two, art and nature, it is fitting,
if you recall how Genesis begins,for men to make their way, to gain their living;and since the usurer prefers anotherpathway, he scorns both nature in herselfand art her follower; his hope is elsewhere."

5th Circle of Hell - Anger

The souls are forced to fight with each other while gurgling on mud  'Into a black sulkiness which can find no joy in God or man or the universe' .

4th Circle of Hell - Greed

"… I saw multitudes
to every side of me; their howls were loud
while, wheeling weights, they used their chests to push.
They struck against each other; at that point,
each turned around and, wheeling back those weights,
cried out: Why do you hoard? Why do you squander?"

The souls are forced to fight against each other with heavy armor.
