Co-written with John Bolton, Odyssey weaves the story of Andreas Litras' migrant family through the legend of Odysseus, hero of Homer's classic text The Odyssey. Using Odysseus' long journey home to counterpoint the modern migrant experience Odyssey explores narratives of dislocation and identity.

Produktbeschreibung
Co-written with John Bolton, Odyssey weaves the story of Andreas Litras' migrant family through the legend of Odysseus, hero of Homer's classic text The Odyssey. Using Odysseus' long journey home to counterpoint the modern migrant experience Odyssey explores narratives of dislocation and identity. Journeys and characters cross paths as the performance moves between past and present, Greece and Australia, memory and imagination. Odyssey is a celebration of what it means to find home.
Andreas Litras' remarkable one-hander play Odyssey interweaves three narratives: Homer's Odyssey, the ancient tale, provides the template for an enactment of Litras' parents', Angelo and Paraskevi's migration to Australia; and the performer's personal search for a sense of identity and belonging as the son of Greek immigrants. Litreas weaves the stories of his family through the legend of Odysseus, the hero of the Trojan War. In this beautifully crafted autobiography we witness Greek tragedy, comedy and the everyday. Truly epic drama.
