On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 9:00 PM, the Castiglione Theatre is set to host an unmissable event for the 2024/2025 theatrical season: **Iliad. The Game of the Gods**, a production featuring Alessio Boni and Marcello Prayer, directed by Roberto Aldorasi.
The work, inspired by Homer’s epic poem, explores a universe where the idea of success prevails over that of justice. In this context, humans appear devoid of autonomy, driven by divine forces in an unending war without true winners or losers. The narrative highlights how individual consciousness and personal responsibility remain distant concepts; it is only with the advent of the Age of Tragedy that one can truly grasp the weight of one’s choices.
**Iliad** reflects on universal and contemporary themes: fear, ambition, and power struggles are elements that resonate in our present day. The work invites us to consider the destructive dynamics that can lead to irrationality and war, making it clear that the seeds of our civilization’s decline are already present in ancient myths.
This performance marks an important milestone for Quadrivio—a collective of artists composed of Roberto Aldorasi, Alessio Boni, Francesco Niccolini, and Marcello Prayer—who have chosen to reinterpret **Iliad** to delve into the deeper roots of Western poetry and the eternal conflicts of humanity.
As the concluding event of the theatrical season curated by Artistic Director Professor Stefano Maffizzoni, this show promises to deliver an intense and engaging experience for all theater enthusiasts.
