L'Iliade

What if the Trojan War was a sports match? The Iliad, pop culture and rock 'n' roll !

The war recounted by Homère takes on the appearance of an American football match. A sporting event that began 10 years ago, where players compete for the collective good, for their team, but also for their personal destiny. A fatal destiny, they already know that.
From the locker room, on the fringes of the action, the heroes are prey to their own questions while the sports commentators connect with the field and report on the advances of the armed forces.
From Olympus, goddesses and gods are the financiers of this match. From their paradise island, they coach their protégés to defend their interests, even if it means penalizing hundreds of thousands of lives.
And between these two worlds, the bard, the match's mascot, accompanies the spectators in this epic.

Sometimes funny because of the situations and the frivolity of the gods and sometimes tragic because of the decisions and losses of the heroic players, The Iliad questions our life choices and their consequences and asks the question formulated by Camus in The Myth of Sisyphus: how do we escape our mortal condition? Because it is indeed a question of giving meaning to life in the Iliad, a life of eternal glory.
