About event
"Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, waits ten years for her man to fight in the war. And then the war is over, but Odysseus does not return. Since her husband did not return home, even though the war was over long ago, a long time ago, Penelope, the wife of Odysseus thinks of various explanations for why he did not return."
The first possible explanation is that her husband died in the war. The second possible explanation is based on the fact that her husband lost his life on the way home, returning from the war. A third possible explanation for why Penelope's husband does not return is that he cannot return home. A fourth possibility that Penelope considers is that her husband does not want to return home."
Homer's Odyssey is the oldest surviving European epic. However, we still do not know who Homer was, or if he was, who Odysseus was, or if he even existed; sources diverge and contradict each other. The anguished return of the Ithacian king from a campaign of sacked and burned We also considered Troy to be a fictional story created from words, that is, until Heinrich Schliemann dug the material ruins of Troy out of the sand.
Roland Schimmelpfennig - the most famous contemporary German playwright - was given the task of retelling the story of Odysseus. So he wrote a fake Odyssey in which the main role is stolen from the title character by a history teacher who knows best how it all happened. "Post truth architecture." Schimmelpfennig's Odyssey was created by director Dávid Paška, a graduate of the prestigious Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, with his German team and Slovak actresses.
The performance is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
