AN ILIAD (Fall 2020)
streaming PERFORMANCES
November 14 - 20, 2020
What is it like to be present at the invention of a story? A small group of narrators, burdened as the carriers of history, present the staggering tale of the Trojan War as a means for investigating and perhaps even changing human nature: our appetite for war, our petulance for destruction, and the character ‘tropes’ that have fought along the way.
