The Act of the Ship of Hell 

There’s no way to escape, divine judgment always ends up coming!


The Act of the Ship of Hell (Auto da Barca do Inferno, in Portuguese) is an allegorical play by Gil Vicente premiered in 1517. It is the first part of the Trilogy of the Ships. Despite the fact there are two ferries in the play, it’s called “of the Ship of Hell” because this is the destination of most of its characters after the judgement around which it is centered.

The purpose of this academic work is the production and development of a digital application based on the The Act of the Ship of Hell by Gil Vicente. The application must contain at least three interactions.

Inspired by a claw machine, I decided to create a scenario in which the devil takes hold of the characters in the play and condemns them to hell.
