Iliad. The game of the gods, a show of the Quadrivium text by Francesco Niccolini freely inspired by Homer's Iliad, directed by Roberto Aldorasi, Alessio Boni, Marcello Prayer

Nuovo Teatro production directed by Marco Balsamo *In Italian

They are the cause of everything but they are not to blame for anything, capricious, vindictive, inhuman: they are the immortal gods, and their comedy has always been the tragedy of men. For some time, however, something has changed: they have become pale, faded images of their ancient splendor, they have lost their powers and cannot explain how or when their decline began. They have not met for centuries, since the times of Helen, Achilles, Hector, Andromache, Priam, Hecuba, Agamemnon, Patroclus, Odysseus and the other characters whose threads of destiny they enjoyed pulling, but today a mysterious invitation brings them all together, after a long time. Who invited them? For what reason?

Ten years after its birth, after The Duellists and Don Quixote, the Quadrivio formed by Roberto Aldorasi, Alessio Boni, Francesco Niccolini and Marcello Prayer rewrites and stages the Iliad to reflect itself in the most ancient myths of Western poetry and in the war of all the wars.

The 2023-2024 Prose Season is organized by the Teatro del Giglio in collaboration with Fondazione Toscana Spettacolo Onlus. BOOK TICKETS
