It is a three thousand year old story, full of still indecipherable charm and wonder. Nicola Piovani recreates in a theater the seduction of the travel of Ulysses, transforming reading and imagination in a musical narration: "With our musical instruments - he explains - of course we do not tell the facts that can be described only by words. But the music can try to materialize the emotion still aroused by those facts"
It is a dialogue between verses and melodies, including Homer, Saba, Joyce, Tasso, piano, bass, saxophone, cello, percussion, computer.
