ODYSSEUS CHAOTICUS A fantastic cabaret show based on the travels of Odysseus King of Ithaca, brings together physical theatre, clowning, acting, dance and live music. The three performers, who also sing, dance and play a variety of musical instruments, also play a multitude of characters, alternating between them in an almost dizzying rhythm. The multitalented trio tells the story of the great Greek hero, King Odysseus, who struggles to find his way home in a wondrously cruel world inhabited by ancient gods, witches, monsters and larger-than-life humans. Parts of the mythological odyssey are intertwined into a story of an eccentric Italian family; a romantic-dreamer husband, his uptight and dominating but loving wife, a needy old Papa and their noisy newborn baby all packed like sardines in their small home. The day-dreaming husband escapes his mundane routine and takes an imaginative journey inspired by Homer’s Odyssey. This is one of the most entertaining hours you will ever spend in the theatre! Formed in 2008, Ish Theatre is an exciting new Israeli physical theatre ensemble encompassing clowning and mime. The founding members of the group – friends since their days as young aspiring theatre students - Fyodor Makarov, Noam Rubinstein and Yolana Zimmerman, share a long history of creative collaboration and joined forces in a mutual desire to practice and stretch the realm of physical theatre, clowning and mime. “An amazing balance between sharp directing and the brilliant improvisational skills of the three clowns, each one of them bursting with talent” M.Zur-Glozman, Ma’ariv Online When: Tuesday, March 9 @ 8pm Post Show Talk-Back March 9 WORKSHOPS WITH ISH THEATRE Chutzpah! will also be presenting a series of workshops for aspiring physical actors – an investigation of the Actor-Clown's world for the curious to the professional.
