La Odisea

A contemporary theatre proposal that takes Homer's poem as its point of departure to speak about those who wait and those who set out on their own journey. The play focuses on the figures who are left in the background next to the hero.

The play takes Homer's verses as its starting point and shifts the gaze from the hero who fights gods and monsters towards other figures in the story. The soldier marked by the Trojan War appears, along with the navigator torn between returning to land or losing himself at sea, and the son who waits for the return of an absent father on his own journey.

The production sets out to give a voice to all of them, so that none is left forgotten. It is a contemporary theatre proposal that reinterprets a classic from diverse perspectives, without confining itself to the original epic narrative.

The performance takes place at Teatro Serrano in Madrid, a venue that hosts shows of different genres.
