Cia Hiato (Brazil) - ODISSEIA
For this four and a half hour of theater experience, the famous and infamous Brazilian director and playwright Leonardo Moreira let himself be inspired by the famous story about the man who left home and went to war and afterwards wandered around for another ten years before he came home.
In a strong on-stage setting, the audience takes the place of the absent hero and the actors interpret the different characters on his path. The players weave their personal memories, doubts and dreams with the stories of characters from the original verses.
Odisseia represents in a strong way the feminine perspective in this heroic story, in which new feminism and the #MeToo discussion are extremely intelligently connected with the experiences of the female characters.
Odisseia is a rocking road trip through the landscape of modern women in relation to the fallen or not fallen from his pedestal. Highly unique, feminist, humorous, activist and above all hyper-topical.
