the way i know nothing about dance but ive read soa and LOVE this song so i understood this performance almost beat for beat, aaaaa, beautiful.

I’ve just read the song of Achilles and I’m OBSESSED (also I always enjoyed this song so much) so I ended up here somehow and it’s soooo wonderful and lovely I’m completely amazed!!!

those bitches screaming in the background ruined it

The last embrace got me SOBBING I really need to go re read that book

God I was not expecting to feel so much about this story again today </3 That was beautiful :,) FELT their emotion. Also: applause to tech! The lighting designers did such an awesome job with each section of the performance and really helped bring out the story, so underrated but impactful. 💫

The part with the “where you go I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping since there is no me without you” was so beautifully done 1:17

Absolutely stunning piece. Choreography, dancing and the lighting.... Wow. All the pieces work wonderfully together.

I´M CRYING RIGHT NOW BRO!!!!!!

This is absolutely stunning. I love this song, and your interpretation gave me goosebumps.

We see the move where they hold there hands in front of themselves thrice. In the beginning patroculus and achilles do it but their hands dont touch. Second after patrocolus's death achilles and briesis dp it bit it doesnt fit. The third os the end, in the end patroculus and achilles hold each others hands while doing the move and then they embrace. Its beautiful.

I am honestly stunned by how beautiful this is. Truly one of the best storytelling portrayals I've seen done through choreography :)

humans are beautiful

I am not joking when I tell you that this very literally bought me to tears. Extremely beautiful

The death of Patroclus, and Achilles alone at the end, really broke me. So beautifull but so sad❤💔

ironically enough, this is the perfect song for contemporary dance choreographies.

The story of Achilles and Patroclus have a special plac ein my heart... This is utterly beautiful and a masterpiece, i cried many times throughout the piece. My heart aches for them... I love everything about this.

i just can't it's too beautiful

This video was one of the reasons I ended up finally reading the book! Coming back to watch it again after having finished the book, it is even more stunning than when I first watched it! Bravo! Absolutely gorgeous and evocative!!!

ohhh this is beautiful beyond words

Literally crying. Tears have been shed. I am dead. Deceased.

The Iliad as a ballet (and greeks as dance in general) is not my hill but I would die on it.

I love the fact that after patroclus’ death, achilles and briesis are distant from each other. they still danced with each other, but never touched. this shows how achilles and briesis were never close, and how the only way they could relate to each other was by patroclus’ death :(

This was wonderful, it gave me chills!

I love how when Patroclus died the way Achilles and Briseis walked was like as if their souls were shattered!!

Ok please as a classical dancer- this is the best pieces of story incorporated choreography I've seen

this is, by far, the coolest creative work ive seen inspired by TSOA and achilles/patroclus in general. what a beautiful, powerful, moving story told through one of the most evocative mediums!!

Oh my god!!!!!!!!! The BEST thing I've ever seen! I've never ever have seen something like this, not even similar. AMAZING!

The fact that Madeline spend 10 years writing this book ! Ofc it had to be a masterpiece 🤧

I have never seen storytellinh through music but this was so good that even a novice like me understood!!! Excellent piece of work, both by you guys and Madelline Miller herself. ❤

Linda apresentação! Repassou perfeitamente o sentimento da música e do livro, parabéns a todos os envolvidos 💕

Oooooh that was so beautiful. What magnificent storytelling 😢

The dancers conveyed the emotions right on point it was so very beautifully potrayed !! I love this !!

the end is just “In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.”

What is it about song of achilles that makes me cry in every single way it's interpreted This is beautiful

I can clearly tell there was so much emotion and strive in this, amazing job from all 3 i just finished crying.

THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. I love how the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles was depicted. I noticed that at some parts the dancers have the same movements, however, at the same time, some aspects or details are different. It makes me think of the quote “he is half of my soul as the poets say.” The dancers move as one soul while also capturing the essence of two different people/personalities.

This is just.. I don’t have the words, this is absolutely gorgeous and so well done the beautiful storytelling and the amazing dancers portraying it. It’s a gorgeous peace and it captures the story well

I’ve never read the song of Achilles, can some explain who the girl with the long hair is supposed to be and her relation to the others

El detalle del final 😭

Debe ser la décima vez que vengo a ver este video... Me lo estoy aprendiendo?... Si.

Im heartbroken and crying and this is probbly one of the most emotional moments of my life. I want to scream and tell everyone the story and show this masterpiece to everyone.

You just ripped out my heart. This was amazing.

What type of dance is this it’s so interesting?

This dance is so fucking good

When I watched the first time I though that Briseis was Thetis, but I like how you represented all the characters. i would love to see an interpretation with Thetis and Patroclus making up in the end but I love what you did with the song x

I cried so hard at this. The song is a masterpiece, and the dancing is just perfect and clear to anyone who knows the story of the characters (or read Miller's book). So well done 💛

this is such a beautiful peice of storytelling my goodness

Absolutely beautiful!

this is so beautiful ! everything lve seen fanmade about song of achilles is stunning and worthy , l keep thinking if they have to one day make a movie adaptation (l hope they never ) then they better look to the artiste of beautiful renditions as these and convey all the emotion. they would have no excuse

Great job! Beautiful!
