We can’t, of course, attend to everything about games, but we circle around the topic, and end with a consideration of what it means to speak of life as a game. With a variety of songs sometimes only peripherally relevant. You are invited to attend. (As heard on Cambridge Radio)

We attend to conjoining, coming together, in a loose show going in several directions: coming together as I and I; the wonder of seeing each other; lonely people coming together for mutual solace; dancing as a joyful and comforting coming together, with each other and with the music; false and true conjoining in The Divine Comedy; the erotic conjoining of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus. You are invited to attend. [As heard on Cambridge Radio]

We come to the end of Dante’s journey through Hell, at the frozen depths of the world, with the worst of the sinners, and the King of Hell himself, immobile at the core. Then back up to see the stars. [As heard on Cambridge Radio]

We arrive at the final ditch of Fraud, where are dumped all the miscellaneous group of falsifiers, a stinking, raving mess. We lighten this heaviness with a good selection of songs. (As heard on Cambridge Radio)

What happens to people who slice up communities with their seeds of discord? Dante shows us one way to make some sense of this. [As heard on Cambridge Radio]
