An epic Greek poem becomes an adventure of universal proportions in this 45-minute adaptation of Homer’s iconic tale, presented by Asolo Rep and produced by the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training. Looking for Ithaca: An Odyssey is an imaginative retelling of the classic journey of a family that has been fractured by war and unseen forces. The story is told through the eyes of a family fighting their way back to one another: Odysseus, a father whose yearning for his wife and child drives him to traverse the dangers hidden in the sea; Penelope, a mother protecting what’s left of her home and her family; and Telemachus, a son embarking on an Odyssey of his own, looking to fill the shoes of an unknown father. They may return home, but that isn’t where their journey ends. Program suitable for all ages. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on while you enjoy this outdoor performance. You may also wish to bring sunscreen and bug spray. Program sponsored by Asolo Rep and the FSU/Asolo Conservatory in partnership with Manatee County. For more information contact [email protected].
