“Do you hear the waves? They rhyme, each with the next. They whisper of far-away lands, of mystery…And you, young fool, you listen, until you too, become wave, music, strange cadence, looking for your rhyme…And you climb into the boat…” Odysseus

You are on the sea. Deepest night. You turn on the radio, and find yourself pulled into the story of Odysseus, the eternal stranger, tirelessly, breathlessly searching the way home, before it’s too late.
Home. But what home? The home he returns to is not that which he left, 20 years ago.
Penelope, surroundes by beasts, weaves and unweaves herself. Telemachos, the son, lives an internal movement: on the verge of adulthood, the way is blocked by the shadow of his father, absent hero.
After many hard lessons, Odysseus must also learn this: things recede, not just in space, but in time. This is the lesson he cannot teach his own son…

Two years of work on the Odyssey have brought us to this version for youth and adults, not as an arrival, but as a sea-passage, drifting on the waves of a story which never ends.
