The Odyssey
Homer
Odysseus Cruz
by José Cruz González
Synopsis
A contemporary take on Homer's The Odyssey, the classic hero is transformed into Odysseus Cruz, a smuggler of men across the modern-day U.S.-Mexican border.
Trying to return home, he stops at an oasis and is confronted by the souls of the people who have died on his watch.
Vivid spirits appear to tell of the sacrifices made for the sake of the journey in this bilingual exploration of life told through music and movement.
(This play can also be performed as part of the full-length play California Scenarios .)
