Iliade. Il Gioco Degli Dei - Alessio Boni, Antonella Attili

Iliad sings of a world where the ethic of success leaves no room for justice and men decide nothing, but are moved by the gods in a long and terrible war without winners or losers. Consciousness and choice are not yet matters concerning humans: civilization will have to wait for the age of Tragedy to know personal responsibility and the full weight of freedom from those gods who are the cause of everything but are to blame for nothing. In that archaic world dominated by strength, inescapable Fate, and capricious gods, it is not difficult to see our own world and recognize it: our lives dominated by fear, the desire for wealth, the obsession with the enemy, power games, and all the destructive forces that plunge us into the irrational and make war possible. All the seeds of the decline of our West are present in the Iliad, which, as happens with great poetry, also contains its opposite: the responsibility and the freedom to choose and say no to horror. Ten years after its inception, following I Duellanti and Don Quixote, the Quadrivio, consisting of Roberto Aldorasi, Alessio Boni, Francesco Niccolini, and Marcello Prayer, rewrites and stages the Iliad to reflect on the oldest myths of Western poetry and in the war of all wars.
