ACHILLES - Villa Albertine

ACHILLES is an immersive epic that plunges visitors into the imaginary world of the myth of Achilles and the Trojan War. An ambitious artistic project based on a rigorous scientific study :

– a sharp, contemporary re-reading that goes back to the sources and draws on the most recent studies to offer a new dusted-off version of the traditions that goes straight to the heart of the matter

– a spectacular presentation of ancient iconography, never before presented in this way, based on in-depth research in the world’s greatest museums and thanks to unprecedented computer graphics and digital restoration work

– the splendour of an immersive creation and the emotion of a powerful poetic narrative, which embraces the mystery and timeless depth of the myth and brings it to life, to question the link with our imagination and our culture.

We can propose a turnkey solution for a big projection or a site specific scenography for a museum exhibition.
