The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other Homeric epic. The Odyssey is a fundamental work in the modern Western canon believed to be composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia.
The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myth), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, Odysseus is assumed to have died, due to which his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Proci, who compete for Penelope’s hand in marriage.
The Odissea directed by Giovanni Anfuso is set on the pebbly riverbed of the Alcantara River, inside the Alcantara Nature Park.
Gole dell’Alcantara, l’Inferno di Dante e l’Odissea di Omero
Entrambi gli spettacoli sono inseriti tra i Grandi eventi della Regione Siciliana. Il 23 luglio debutta il kolossal tratto dall’opera di Omero e si prosegue dal 27 agosto con Dante.
Due lavori teatrali che hanno riscosso un enorme successo di pubblico perché sono a un tempo di grande livello artistico e popolarissimi, com’era del resto nelle intenzioni dei produttori, Buongiorno Sicilia e Vision Sicily.
I due kolossal, per tutte queste loro caratteristiche, sono stati inseriti nell’elenco dei Grandi eventi 2020 dall’Assessorato al Turismo della Regione Siciliana.
E c’è infatti una grande attesa da parte degli spettatori, affamati di teatro dopo il lockdown, per il ritorno delle due rappresentazioni, che, entrambe dirette da Giovanni Anfuso, debutteranno presto: il 23 luglio aprirà la stagione l’Odissea che andrà avanti per venti repliche, – due a sera dal giovedì alla domenica per cinque settimane – mentre dal 27 agosto il magnifico scenario delle Gole ospiterà l’Inferno.
I produttori hanno ovviamente dedicato grande attenzione alla sicurezza degli spettatori: ingegneri specializzati hanno progettato le piante – su una riva ci saranno in tutto 198 posti a sedere, mentre sull’altra riva, al di là del fiume, reciteranno gli attori – e tracciato percorsi da e per il greto del fiume che consentissero sempre l’indispensabile distanziamento. Sono stati inoltre messi a punto tutti i protocolli di sanificazione tenendo conto tra l’altro che si opera all’interno del Parco fluviale dell’Alcantara.

Italian premiére of “Il était un petit navire” (There Was A Little Ship)“ by Marion Hänsel, recently deceased
A woman, hospitalized for a relatively long period, observes what surrounds her. She has time to dream, to revisit certain moments of her life. These memories, like small bubbles begin with her birth in Marseille in 1949 and bring us to Antwerp, Paris, New York, England… to end in Flanders in 2015, after she gets out of the hospital. There Was A Little Ship is a filmic-biographical essay, sincere and poetic.
