The Return of Ulysses

Handspring Puppet Company
William Kentridge, director


Tuesday, November 15, 2016
7:30 PM

Monteverdi’s opera Il ritorno d’Ulisse wrestles with human vulnerability in the face of inevitable demise. In this “ingenius and heartbreakingly beautiful” production (San Francisco Chronicle),The Return of Ulysses explores the idea of human longing and faith using puppetry by Handspring Puppet Company and imagery by William Kentridge. Superb vocalists perform the exquisite score based on Homer’s Odyssey as the dying hero, poised before animated scenes of crumbling temples and ghostly palimpsests, confronts his own frail destiny wrought by Time, Fortune, and Love.

Post-performance artist discussion.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles

This performance will be followed by a White Light Lounge.
There is no late seating.
