PopOdyssey

This epic storytelling show collides ancient Greece with modern pop culture in this high energy reworking of Homer’s Odyssey, told through text and movement.

Love Island, an inflatable Trojan horse and a thirst trap bot dressed up like a nymph. This epic storytelling show collides ancient Greece with modern pop culture in this high energy reworking of Homer’s Odyssey, told through text and movement.  A journey to find a home, a father and our place in this mad, complex world of fake lips, telling fake news in deep fake utopias.
