The Odyssey is an ensemble piece that tells the ancient tale of the hero, Odysseus, off on a long journey, and his faithful wife Penelope and son Telemachus, who await his return after many years. The play mixes several styles of theater to tell its story: narrative storytelling, physical theater elements like mime and shadowplay, dialogue scenes of many sizes, and a strong group method of theater. Students are working on voice, body and acting, as the entire troupe remains onstage for most of the play, creating a wide variety of characters, monsters, Greek mythical characters, while devising the space with rolling set pieces, masks, props and lots of invented physical work.
