The Paper Cinema’s ‘Odyssey’
Print Edition
NINE years after the end of the Trojan War, the King, Odysseus, has still not returned home. In his absence, his house has been besieged by suitors who are after his crown, his wife and his lands. Away for 20 years, rumors of his death abound. Why isn’t he back? When will he be home? And will Penelope be able to keep the wolves at bay? The answers to these questions are in the hands of the Gods.
This interpretive live performance based on Homers’ “Odyssey,” uses hand-drawn paper puppets brought to life through live cinema. The action is performed to original scored music, performed and written by The Paper Cinema musicians.
The Paper Cinema performs a unique form of live animation and music. Founded in 2004 by Nicholas Rawling, with Imogen Charleston and Christopher Reed, they tour bespoke pieces around Britain and internationally.
The company uses the language of animation, music, film and theater to lead the viewer through a variety of stories. Intricate pen and ink illustrations are manipulated in real-time in front of a live video camera and projected onto the big screen alongside the performed music, which is integral to the work.
