Journey of Ulysses

Musical puppet play

Faithful to the original work "Le Voyage d'Ulysse" features all the characters of this great epic; the cyclops, Circe the witch, the sirens dance and sing the great stages of one of the most famous journeys in all of literature.

The show was invited to the Charleville-Mézières Festival and performed in many places in France, including 48 performances at the Théâtre National de Chaillot. It has toured in Greece (where its world premiere took place), the Netherlands in Algeria, Morocco, Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Indian Ocean, East Africa and New Zealand.
