About this plan
If you enjoy theater and the classics, Bogotá has something for you. The Iliad Narrated is an adaptation of Homer's poem by oral storyteller Bicho Crespo, who brings the tale to the stage using only his voice and his body, with nothing fancier than well-placed words. It is a different kind of outing, warm and very Bogotá, a chance to reconnect with a story that has stayed alive for thousands of years.
The show draws on the tradition of live storytelling, where the narrator does the work of giving life to gods, heroes, and battles. You end up hearing the Trojan War as if someone were telling it right beside you, with pauses, tension, and humor. If you are looking for free cultural things to do in Bogotá, this show is a strong pick.
