Events at The Odyssey For January 2024

Here are some events at the Odyssey next week, so be sure to add them to your calendar.

Jan. 19 - 21: Dance at the Odyssey presents Archetype

World premiere of Archetype, featuring choreography by Lily Chumas, Sadie Guthrie, Mekinna Knight, Nia Mason, Iyana Monet, Robby Olmos, Madi Ostratch and Olivia Vannucci. What do Jung's theories about archetypes in human behavior and the discography of Sinéad O'Connor have in common? Director/choreographer Lily Chumas explores the various stages of life as she follows a central figure from pre-conception, to childhood, through adulthood and beyond in this redevelopment of her dance film, Red Football.

Sunday, Jan. 21 @ 2 p.m. (one performance only): The Boy Who Saw True

Odyssey Theatre Ensemble's "Thresholds of Invention" series of first looks at pieces-in-progress by prominent L.A. visionaries celebrates its first anniversary with The Boy Who Saw True, adapted from the paranormal classic by performer and professional storyteller Harry Hart–Browne.

Browne brings to life a wondrous story of clairvoyance as recorded in the diary of a precocious boy in Victorian England - as well as the boy's frustration at not being able to communicate his visions to those who couldn't see the auras and spirits he could. Taking us on a journey from the ridiculous to the exalted, this remarkable piece is profound, delightful and illuminating as Harry becomes "the boy" before our eyes.
