Spectacle - Odyssée

Ulysses just wants to go home! But after ten years of war in Troy and another ten years of wandering among legendary creatures, storms at sea, a detour through the Underworld, and gods with wildly changing moods, he has to face the facts: HE’S HAD ENOUGH!

On his way home, he recounts his wild misadventures in the hope of finally seeing his beloved island of Ithaca again. But what’s really going on back home? Is Penelope still waiting for him? What has become of his son, Telemachus? And who are all these unwelcome guests squatting in his palace?

In a minimalist space where light shapes the scenery, a single actor brings to life and voices some thirty characters with astonishing virtuosity. Amid laughter, anger, and raw emotion, this fast-paced journey reminds us that, no matter the obstacles, all that matters is Odysseus’s love for his Penelope.
