Stathis Livathinos

Homer, Iliad

How do our contemporaries perceive war, and what stance would they take in a civil war? What does our age mean by ‘heroism’, and who does it consider a hero? How do we defend power, and how do we cope with loss? How do we handle anger, love, the return home? Homer’s Iliad tackled on stage in its entirely for the first time in the modern theatre. Fifteen actors –contemporary rhapsodists guided by Stathis Livathinos– tell this stirring ancient epic, shedding copious light on the Greece of today in the process.
