The play is a modern adaptation of Homer epics and it studies the destructive and catastrophic effects of war on human civilization. This performance has an experimental approach and the performers are selected from some workshops held by the directing duo. Iliad and Odyssey as two of the oldest epics of human history, narrate the story of heroes whose heroism is stained with the blood of innocent children, women and men. This attitude towards hero making is criticized in this play. All the events of this performance are occurred in a sanatorium where the inmates are deranged versions of Homeric epics.
