Iliade, mito e guerra
Concluded
Starting with Homer's "Iliad", which narrates the Trojan War, mother and metaphor for all conflicts, the show retraces the historical path which links myth, epic, and narration to the present: because, even if times, eras and wars change, the themes regarding mankind are destined to always remain the same.

Teatro Strehler - Scatola Magica
The verses of Homer seen through the eyes of the archaeologist Heinrich Schiemann, famous for having discovered the mythical city of Troy, will allow the discovery of the places that were the theatre for the most legendary war in history and will bring to life the spectres of all the wars it generated. As well as recounting the facts contained in the poem, the show retraces the historical path that links myth, epic and narration to the present: the language changes, the forms of communication change, the wars change, but the themes which regard mankind are destined never to grow old.
Duration: One hour and 15 minutes
