This is a story about a journey home – even if we don’t quite know where exactly that home is or what we will find there. About wandering and encounters we want to remember, but also those we would rather forget. About the baggage we have to carry regardless of whether we have the strength to do so. About a journey through history, or rather many different stories that are probably not quite real. But history is, after all, made up of stories...
Do you know the fate of Odysseus, who wandered for many years, unable to reach his beloved homeland, his wife, his son? Of course you know. We all know. Someone has told us, after all. Someone who was not there. Someone who could have bent the story to their needs – to keep something quiet, to embellish something. But after all, we love beautiful stories and happy endings. Even if we know that they are not true.
Intended for mature audiences only. Contains scenes of nudity and violence.

The clash between myth and reality. History and present day. Individual reflections and collective memory. Antique exoticism and familiar “Polishness”. Agata Duda-Gracz’s performance is created on the meeting point of bizarrely, but effectively connected worlds. It overwhelms and dazzles.
Agata Duda-Gracz’s performance in Katowice impresses with the momentum, consistency and power of the artist’s imagination and visual sensitivity. With it, the director consistently develops her own original and distinctive style.
Agata Duda-Gracz has produced at the Silesian Theatre a performance that will long be remembered in Katowice – powerful, uncompromising, topical, monumental, visually inimitable and superbly acted.
The twelve stations of Odysseus’ and Telemachus’ wanderings is a theatre that is extremely visual and capacious in its meanings, using images more than words.
