Theatre

A unique and magical performance of Homer’s ancient Greek adventure story, told through real-time animation, live music, drawings and cut-out paper puppets.

Cleverly manipulating pen and ink sketches in front of a projector and onto a big screen alongside the live music, Nicholas Rawling and his group of artist-puppeteers and musicians portray Odysseus’ epic journey to get back to his family after the Trojan Wars.

Homer’s Odyssey is the second oldest, surviving work of Western literature, and one of the most gripping action tales ever written. Mixing the tradition of storytelling with hand-crafted technology and captivating live score from exceptional musicians, the Paper Cinema has created a beautifully imaginative, convincing and completely original production – without actors, set or spoken script!
