Odyssey – A Journey WithinThree theatres, three artistic approaches, one performance

In a world of constant change and uncertainty, each of us moves through our own landscape of encounters, choices, trials and questions. Along the way, we encounter others — and ourselves. The hidden places within us: our fears and desires, our weaknesses and strengths, our guilt, our hope, our longing to belong. Inspired by Homer’s Odyssey, Odyssey – A Journey Within leaves behind the epic’s familiar narrative and turns instead towards the inner journey of the human being.

Three European theatres meet in this artistic journey: THEAMA Inclusive Theatre from Greece, Compagnia Berardi Casolari from Italy, and PLAVO Theatre – Theatre Laboratory from Serbia.

The performance was created within the European project We Want More, whose vision is to expand the boundaries of accessibility in theatre. Bringing together different artistic poetics, experiences and ways of expression, Odyssey – A Journey Within explores the possibility of a theatre that belongs to everyone — a space where performers and audiences alike can recognise something of themselves, encounter experiences different from their own, and feel part of a community of equals. Without exception.
