Aquila Theatre: The Odyssey

One of the most famous tales in world literature, The Odyssey presents a powerful portrait of Odysseus and his epic struggle to return home — a journey fraught with obstacles, dangers and temptations. A testament to perseverance and the human spirit, The Odyssey was originally performed by highly-skilled thespians across the ancient Mediterranean world. Now, Aquila Theatre presents a stirring new adaptation of this timeless drama. Aquila’s acclaimed adaptation of The Iliad was hailed by The New York Times as “thrillingly embodied.” In The Odyssey, Aquila once again employs its signature style of inventive storytell­ing and innovative ensemble movement to bring another of Homer’s epic poems to life.
