Project
Ruhrgebiet, Germany 2009
Six plays and a voyage of discovery through the interworld. Odysseus comes home and no longer recognises his native island of Ithaca. The theatres of the Ruhr have invited six European authors to retell Homer's famous epic poem. The individual episodes are linked to form a complete story, which is performed on five weekends. The audience undertakes a journey from theatre to theatre that forms its own odyssey through the world of light and shadow of a European metropolitan landscape. raumlaborberlin presents a surprising change of perspective. Where are we? In a landscape of memories or in the scenario of a near future?
