Odysseus on the Beach comes to Theater St. Gallen in September. Performances begin 16 September 2023.
Odysseus, king of Ithaca and hero of Troy, wakes up one day on a beach. He doesn't know how he got there. But he is ready to tell of his most exciting adventures: he outwitted a voracious cyclops, braved a violent storm at sea, withstood enticing sirens and last but not least defeated the Trojans with the help of a wooden horse. But Odysseus can't let go of his longing for his son Telemachus, his wife Penelope and his homeland. If only he were there again! With casual, quick-witted language and a wink, this rewriting of Homer's Odyssey takes us on a wild journey and sheds light on an epic from today's perspective.
