A Teen Odyssey is an immersive theatre experience that blends live physical performance and digital technology to create an unforgettable journey for teenagers and adults. Exploring themes of personal identity, intergenerational connection, and how we find our tribes, the audience joins the performers on a participatory, visually stunning, and sonically captivating adventure.
Central to the experience is the innovative Kalliôpé app, created by Spanish theatre legends La Fura dels Baus - Fundació Èpica, which uses the audience's mobile phones as the catalyst for interaction.
A Teen Odyssey transcends theatrical boundaries, interweaving audience, performers and technology in surprising and unforgettable ways.
Please bring your phone fully charged to the performance. The Kalliôpé app will need to be downloaded on each phone before the performance.
Download the app here for iPhone and Android.
