The Odyssey: becoming wave

Notes choreography

The Trojan War is over. With the survivors heroes, Ulysses, king of Ithaca, is preparing to return to his homeland where it awaits the wife Penelope, and his son Telemachus old father Laertes. But Ulysses and his companions return is not easy. The hero greek review his land and his loved ones after ten long years of wandering on Mari, during which loses all its vessels and all his men.
Think back. " The return must be identified, planned and reminded the danger is that it can be forgotten before it is done. Every time Ulysses must guardarsene if it is not to forget… instantly forgetting what? The war of Troy? The siege? The horse? No, the home of the route navigation, the purpose of the trip is "to forget the return." Ulysses should not forget that the road should go, the shape of his destiny, should not forget the Odyssey. The journey of Ulysses is not an outward journey, but a return trip. The future that Ulysses is seeking his past. The Ulysses who arrives in Ithaca as an old beggar unrecognizable by all perhaps is no longer the same person party of Troy. Ulysses is the man who bears the toughest experiences, fatigue, pain and loneliness also certainly drags its audience into a mythical dream world. But this dream world of the same becomes the mirror image of the real world where we live, which dominate in need and distress, pain and terror, and in which man is placed without escape. Is not the myth of the Odyssey each trip? Perhaps Ulysses-Homer told the same experience now in the language of the living, now in the language of myth, as yet for us all our journey, big or small, is always Odyssey.
