Embark on an immersive voyage through the realms of physical theatre, seamlessly interwoven with cutting-edge technologies. Designed for audiences ages 12 and up - including adults who once navigated the tumultuous seas of adolescence - this captivating experience promises to engage, provoke, and inspire.

In a boldly unconventional format, we invite our audience to become vital threads in the ever-evolving tapestry of life. Together we embark on a shared journey - one that encourages intergenerational connection, reflection, and the forging of new paths through the tangible and digital realms of existence.

A TEEN ODYSSEY

A Teen Odyssey is an immersive theatre experience, that blends live physical performance and digital technology to create an unforgettable journey for teenagers and adults. Exploring themes of personal identity, intergenerational connection, and how we find our tribes, the audience joins the performers on a participatory, visually stunning, and sonically captivating adventure.

Central to the experience is the innovative Kalliôpé app, created by Spanish theatre legends La Fura dels Baus - Fundació Èpica, which uses the audience's mobile phones as the catalyst for interaction.

A Teen Odyssey transcends theatrical boundaries, interweaving audience, performers and technology in surprising and unforgettable ways.

By young people for young people: A Teen Odyssey was created with the input of an artistic committee comprised entirely of young people who guided the dramaturgical and aesthetic aspects of the show. This approach to making new works of live performance, encourages open discussion and critical thinking and problem-solving, and gives young people context and insight into the various professions that contribute to the production of a stage performance.
