Spectacle - Iliade

ILIADE It's war between the Greeks and the Trojans. Between anger and compassion, each of them clings to life and battle. Achilles, Helen, Andromache, Hector, Agamemnon: these five characters have always been part of our mythology.
Breaking down clichés and genres, five actors and actresses take on these characters and bring Homer's epic to vivid life.

Pauline Bayle's uncluttered staging summons all the power of the imagination, giving the two texts all their power to make Homer's words heard. Words written eight centuries B.C. that resonate furiously with contemporary history.
