The Antyssey

by Joel Crichton and Richard Lee Hsi
An Environmental Partnership with Concrete Theatre

The Antyssey explores the universal feelings that we all experience at some point in our youth of not fitting in and feeling the need to break away from what we know to discover our true selves. Often at this time we go through a personal journey of mistakes and triumphs to either end up back where we began or to decide to move on in a different direction. The intense time of our youth takes us through the highs and lows of ‘where do I belong?’.
