The electroacoustic performance Songs of Odisseus by Alla Zagaykevych the culmination of her creative research conducted in 2024–2025, dedicated to the theme of Odysseus – the warrior and traveler, his journeys, emotions, and choices.
TicketsThe project is inspired by Volodymyr Yermolenko’s novel The Ocean Catcher (2017).
This is a very unusual kind of singing – an attempt to recall long-forgotten songs.
Did Penelope sing them once?
Or did Odysseus hear them from the Sirens?
Songs on the seashore… or songs to the sea?
