It is said that, in those days of yore, there was no man who suffered more and was happier than the amazing Ulysseus. First told by Homer, then by Maria Alberta Menéres and now by us. This classic epic is full of adventures, Cyclops, mermaids, sorceresses and other obstacles that keep Ulysseus from his Penelope. A love that has to survive several years of mystery and doubt, but also of resistance and faith. With original music and a dynamic staging, we retell the thousand-told story of the king of Ithaca in a fresh and innovative way, appealing to the youngest and restoring curiosity for the mythical, for antiquity and, in a way, for history.
