En mitad de tanto fuego (Amid Such Fire)Miramedia

Desire, war, desertion, power, violence, homeland… Alberto Conejero shares with the audience the beauty, mystery and darkness of an epic poem through which he converses with the human condition, tying in different eras. Combining voices from the past and present. He does so through the character of Patroclus, wartime companion of Achilles. An assemblage based on Homer's Iliad and other texts, offering an insight into a fundamental work of classical Greek literature. 

Performer, dramaturge and director. Three great talents present a show which is both a song of war and an oratorio for the victims; a monologue about what words and ideas such as "glory", "honour" and "fatherland" do to our bodies; a dark poem that speaks of the violence of the battlefield, but also the violence of desire. Because the Iliad begins with the desertions of two men who love one another and abandon the battlefield ten years after the war began. We still speak of the Trojan war because it is still burning.
