The eighteenth century German poet Friedrich Hölderlin was so fascinated by the figure of Empedocles that he decided to write a modern tragedy about the life - or rather the death - of this ancient Greek natural philosopher. He is said to have thrown himself into Mount Etna to prove his divinity. Hölderlin's attempts at literature were fraught with difficulty: three successive versions of The Death of Empedocles remained unfinished. This inspired Romeo Castellucci to create a new play.
