The show “landing_an odyssey” comes in Eleusis, for the first time in Greece!
Through the impressive interactive displays of dance and theater and with the exclusive tool of natural expression, a multinational group takes the audience to the point when Odysseus is returning home. The “drop-off”, the “landing”, the “return” after a long journey, full of battles and adventures, opens always the way for new challenges and new questions. Odysseus returns to Ithaca and Penelope, in a mixture of happiness, anger and nostalgia and invites us to ask ourselves.
“Are we confident that we can get back to Ithaca?”
The “Memories for Life” is part of the European intercultural project “Meeting the Odyssey”, which revolves around the journey of Odysseus and modern “Odysseys”. This year is coming in Greece, with vehicle the legendary sailboat “Hoppet”.
Set in front of the historic sailboat “Hoppet” at the port of the candidate city for the European Capital of Culture 2021, the “landing_an odyssey” will be held only for three nights at the Old Oil Mill Factory in Eleusis on Thursday June 30rd and Saturday July 2nd and Sunday July 3rd.
The project “Meeting the Odyssey” is funded by the “Culture” programme of European Commission. The events to be held in Eleusis are funded by the Region of Attica and are carried out in cooperation with the Aeschylean Festival 2016.
