The play "Odysseus" is a story about man's journey towards himself, against himself, beyond himself. The boy who went to Troy takes youth as a golden coating of his own name. A grown man who returns to his home island learns the wrath of the gods and what it's like to travel against time. But Ithaca is not the last port of call for one who is destined to be a hero. A prophecy propels him to a final journey beyond the known limits. On the shore stood Penelope - a woman who knows how to overcome separation to give love the only thing it deserves - eternity. For the journey to continue.
The play "Odyssey" is directed by Diana Dobreva / "Debelyanov and the Angels", "Caligula", "The Father", "Wolves"/ and uses modern digital technologies in an effective way.
Poems by Cavafys, Seferis and Ivan Metodiev are used in the performance.
