Synopsis

Aquiles, son of goddess Tetis and Peleo, the mortal, was one of the biggest heroes in greek mythology. Out of all those who fought in the Trojan War, his was the biggest glory. His role in the war was decisive for the greek victory. But Aquiles, regardless of his superhuman qualities, was a mortal. His extreme strength, cruelty, arrogance and beauty became a standard for all mortals trying to transcend and live a life of danger and glory. Aquiles irrupts in the city with his 5.5 metres of hight, and his nearly 1000kg, sweeping the streets and squares, disrupting everyday life. A shocking view, a show with a great visual impact, which will leave anyone nearing to see him walk the streets entirely mesmerised. An itinerant street arts show in which aquiles, an articulated 5'5m giant, erupts in the city.

The Company

An itinerant street arts show in which aquiles, an articulated 5'5m giant, erupts in the city. LA FAM Teatre is a young streets arts theatre company, born in 2014 in Vila-real, Castellón, out of the restlessness of an experienced group of actors and musicians, who set out to find new artistic codes and aesthetics which would transform the street in a non-conventional scenic space. Since beginning in 2014, we haven't stopped trying to innovate in the street, to blend the lines in order to bring theatre and scenic arts closer to new audiences. Our productions are characterized by a strong mise-en-scène, and our commitment to create pieces which will generate and after-thought in the spectator. After debuting in 2014, LA FAM Teatre has kept working in artistic productions and big ad hoc projects, maintaining three lines of action: big format shows, itinerant street theatre, and risk productions. It is by doing so that we continue to investigate with impossible elements, new technologies and scenic aesthetics, which connect us to the public. LA FAM Teatre is an associated member of AVETID and PATEA (Associations for the defence of street arts)
