Ondine

By Jean Giraudoux
Translated and adapted by Joanne Miller and Laurie Steven
Directed by Laurie Steven

“Odyssey’s journey into German myth via Giraudoux melts the boundaries between drama, music, dance and visual art[…]the overwhelming impression is of a multi-dimensional richness.”
Iris Winston, Ottawa Citizen

“Once again, director Laurie Steven uses the fantastic in the service of reality[…]a unique blend of Commedia dell’Arte, dance and spectacle[…]Odyssey has gelled into something special[…]Ondine is a fun, thought-provoking time which appeals to all of the senses.”
S. Mistal Baker, Ottawa X-Press

“It’s beautiful, absolutely beautiful[…]go and see Ondine, it’s a wonderful experience.”
Alvina Ruprecht, CBC Radio

“Odyssey is equally dynamic in its experimentation and explorations of theatrical forms and space [as Robert Lepage…] fast-paced action, dozens of[…]idiosyncratic characters, spectacularly colourful masks and costumes and a live soundtrack[…]Ondine is a poetic, provocative production and a great night at the theatre.”
Tom McSorley, CBC Radio
