"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 land."
The Paper Cinema and Battersea Arts Centre presents The Paper Cinema's Odyssey - an interpretive live performance based on Homer's The Odyssey, brought to life using hand-drawn paper puppets and ingenious use of light, camera and sound. The show is performed to originally scored music, performed and written by The Paper Cinema musicians.
Due to the show length of 75 minutes, this performance is suitable for young children 10 years and above.
