Twitch Odyssey

Twitch Odyssey Homer is back in town. He’s back to claim his place as the greatest storyteller in the West. But he’s in for a surprise. Twitch Odyssey is a performance that allows the audience, individually and collectively, to have a hand in creating and shaping the content and direction of the narrative and the storyworld. Presented as performance in physical space, an installation, and a live stream on Twitch.tv, this adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey invites the audience to create moments of content that will be included in the streamed performance (both physical world and virtual world).
