Odysseus
Odysseus by De Machienerie is a thrilling test of fate that’s full of mythical scenes. An epic performance in both Dutch and French, with poetic installations, mechanical sculptures and object manipulations. Accessible and impressive for any and all viewers!
De Machienerie and Theatre La Licorne present the timeless, classical story of Homer’s Odysseus in their own way.
“A father and his daughter watch with interest as a clever man manages to capture an entire nation and then plot a course for home, setting sail across the world’s oceans. They decide to play a game: with each roll of the dice, they will introduce an obstacle to hinder his return home. As a result, he is confronted with a sorceress, a flock of bird-women and a posse of one-eyed giants. In this evocative epic, father and daughter must ask themselves again and again: will the man make it home or not?”
