GVPTA: Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance

A fantastic cabaret show based on the travels of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, brings together physical theater, clowning, acting, dance and live music. The three performers, who also sing, dance and play a variety of musical instruments, play a multitude of characters, alternating between them in an almost dizzying rhythm. The multi-talented trio tells the story of the great Greek hero, King Odysseus, who struggles to find his way home in a wondrously cruel world inhabited by ancient gods, witches, monsters and larger-than-life humans.

Parts of the mythological Odyssey are intertwined into a story of an eccentric Italian family; a romantic-dreamer husband, his uptight and dominating but loving wife, a needy old Papa and their noisy newborn baby all packed like sardines in their small home. The day-dreaming husband escapes his mundane routine and takes an imaginative journey inspired by Homer's Odyssey. This is one of the most entertaining hours you will ever spend in the theatre!
