"An amazing balance between sharp directing and the brilliant improvisational skills of the three clowns, each one of them bursting with talent"  Ma'ariv Online
"Uproarious physical comedy." Open magazine
"Pure fun!" Yediot Tel-Aviv

ODYSSEUS CHAOTICUS is a fantastic cabaret show, based on the travels of Odysseus, king of Ithaca. Parts of the Mythological Odyssey are intertwined into a story of an eccentric Italian family: a romantic‐dreamer husband, his uptight dominating‐loving wife, a needy old Papa and their newly born noisy baby all packed like sardines in their small home. The dreamy husband escapes his mundane routine to an imaginative journey inspired by the "Odyssey".

The three actors/clowns play a multitude of characters, switching between them in an almost dizzying rhythm, while playing musical instruments, dancing and singing.

Physical theatre, clowning, acting, dance and live music create a sweeping rhythmic succession of scenes. One of the most enjoyable hours you will ever spend in the theatre!

Duration: 65 min    
Language: Gibberish/universally understood    
Audience: adult, teenage

Presented by the Al Green Theatre/Miles Nadal JCC and the Canada-Israel Cultural Foundation.
