Set against the violence of the Trojan War, Holding Achilles is a refreshing take on one of the ancient world’s best-known heroes and his relationship with Patroclus, his not so well-known lover.

This breathtaking new production from visual theatre masterminds Dead Puppet Society and physical theatre virtuosos Legs On The Wall reclaims the queer aspects of The Iliad.

It features powerful visuals, daring aerial work, exquisite puppetry and breathtaking costumes interwoven with a technically astounding set design and haunting new score performed live by Montaigne.
