Notes: | written with John Bolton | |||||
| Odyssey weaves the story of Andreas Litras migrant family through the legend of Odysseus, hero of Homers 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. | |||||
