The Odyssey

a dance film created for streaming

Odysseus’s misadventures on his journey home to Ithaca have often been told only through the hero’s perspective. This production weaves together narrative perspectives from Odysseus, Penelope, and the goddess Athena as it adapts from the translation by Emily Wilson -- the first woman to translate The Odyssey. By weaving together these narrative perspectives, the production focuses not just on the journey home, but on preserving and protecting it. Adapted and choreographed by Trixie Paprika and featuring original music by Stuart Zobel, this production offers a lyrical and cinematic take on the classic.
