The “Project Odysseys” started its “voyage” from Gate 7 of the Port of Thessaloniki as a modern Odyssey, a site-specific promenade performance, which was performed in many outside and inside venues. “Project Odysseys” was the outcome of the work of “the experimental group of research of performing arts A4M”.
Although “Project Odysseys” kept a Theatro-centric orientation, it also combined a variety of different theatre techniques (physical theatre, opera, acrobatics), as well as other forms of art, such as visual and sonic arts, installations, and live music, and it manages to get away from the strict frame of a conventional theatre performance and to become a multi–collective felt experience of the senses and the memory.

Project Odysseys - Departure from the city port

“The performance works as the vehicle, for the spectator, who, similar to Ulysses, uses it in order to begin his magical journey within the city of Thessaloniki, across time and space.” By watching live stories, moving in actual spaces and walking down real and imaginary paths, the spectator forms his own personal Odyssey through a correspondence of his adventures to those of Homer’s hero.
