TITLE: La Divina Commedia

They are Japanese butoh dancers.
They paint their bodies and dance violently.

Is this what Dante, the author of "La Divina Commedia" saw in the world beyond the gates?
There were those who agonized in the darkness and sought help from God.
There might have been people who were suffering so much that they resented God for no reason.
Will they be saved someday?

I took a picture imagining that.

I am good at taking pictures of people who move in any places such as performing arts and dancing.
