A Journey of Metamorphosis
In this theatrical version, Penelope is not simply waiting, but transforms into characters from mythology, including Circe and the Cyclops, exploring the world with the freedom and autonomy of Ulysses. The narration, enriched by contemporary music and singing performances, offers a new perspective on the Homeric characters, making them grotesque and modern.
Event Details
At the end of the show, the audience will have the opportunity to discuss with Iaia Forte while tasting typical Carnival dishes, such as minestra maritata, Neapolitan lasagna and black pudding. For further information and to make reservations, you can contact the organizers by email at reservations@villadidonato.it or by calling 345 706 9148.

The idea of reinterpreting the Odyssey from Penelope's perspective seems interesting to me. However, I don't know if people will understand the new perspective well. I hope the audience will be involved and will enjoy the show and the dinner.
