‘The Theatre of War’ contains the opening lines of Homer’s ‘Iliad’, which is likewise recited over three different days, across three different theatres of war: a stage central to cultural resistance during the Siege of Sarajevo, a combat training facility once used for military exercises in the Bosnian War and now for Ukrainian soldiers, and Homer’s supposed tomb on the Greek island of Ios, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, through which asylum seekers make their treacherous journeys. Stanislava Pinchuk thus reframes the opening lines of Homer’s epic tale of rage, where victory intertwines with grief and loss, reverberating in today’s world of unrelenting armed conflict.
