Long ago, in Ancient Greece, the blind poet Homer sang about the exploits of Achilleus. " Sing, goddess, of the hatred of Achilleus",  thus begins his Iliad.

The story tells of the war for Troy, also known as Ilios . The Greeks fight the Trojans because a Trojan prince has kidnapped the wife of a Greek king. This story of Homer was meant to be sung. Wim Henderickx has turned it into a new opera for young people for Flemish Opera, HETPALEIS and Muziektheater Transparant. He didn't want a fairy tale but a hard play, a play about war, about fighting and heroes. The greatest war is the Trojan, the greatest hero is Achilleus. Imme Dros has retold his story and shows that in a war there are no winners, only losers.

Love and war those two only
help us through boredom.

English

Lang geleden, in het Oude Griekenland, zong de blinde dichter Homeros over de heldendaden van Achilleus. "Zing, godin, over de haat van Achilleus", zo begint zijn Ilias.

Het verhaal vertelt over de oorlog om Troje, ook wel Ilios genoemd. De Grieken vechten tegen de Trojanen omdat een Trojaanse prins de vrouw van een Griekse koning heeft ontvoerd. Dit verhaal van Homeros was bedoeld om gezongen te worden. Wim Henderickx heeft er, voor Vlaamse Opera, HETPALEIS en Muziektheater Transparant, een nieuwe opera voor jongeren van gemaakt. Hij wilde geen sprookje maar een hard stuk, een stuk over oorlog, over vechten en helden. De grootste oorlog is de Trojaanse, de grootste held is Achilleus. Imme Dros heeft zijn verhaal naverteld en laat zien dat er in een oorlog geen winnaars zijn, alleen verliezers.

Liefde en oorlog die twee alleen
helpen ons door verveling heen.
