Iliade. “Il gioco degli dei.” : the meetings

The making of a new production is like a voyage in which one chooses the crew, the boat, the course on which to proceed, and, when everything is ready, the rehearsals begin. Then, at the premiere, you hoist the sails and sail into the open sea. Iliade. “Il gioco degli dei.” will set sail from the Donizetti Theater on December 12 as a tribute to Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023 and, after a week in our theater, will sail the seas of several Italian theaters on a long tour. On the occasion of this production in which we are the protagonists, the Fondazione Teatro Donizetti has decided to offer the public and students a number of appointments that, from different points of view, shed light on different aspects of the great Homeric poem and prepare them for the vision. The protagonists of these meetings are teachers working in Bergamo schools, with the intention of enhancing the many skills present in our area. At the end of the course, an appointment with the company’s directors and actors will be offered to explore the work done, starting precisely from the choice of the text and the poetics behind its realization.
