Peiraios 260, stage D
4-8 June 2013
Homer’s Iliad is presented on stage for the first time worldwide. Stathis Livathinos directs all 24 rhapsodies. The Iliad, a classical work, representative of ancient Greek civilization at its peak, is dramatically reworked and approached with a contemporary artistic perspective. It is precisely this combination of the classical and the contemporary that we seek to highlight. In a balanced and authentic fusion where one does not undermine the other but enhances its aesthetic and emotional impact on today’s audience.
