"A Teen Odyssey" is a show for all generations-an invitation to a celebration of anyone who is (or ever was) a teenager. You will not simply watch the performance... you will be part of it. "A Teen Odyssey "is an exhilarating piece of immersive physical theater from Mallorca-combining live physical performance with smartphone technology to transform every audience member into an active participant.

Through immersive physical theater, "A Teen Odyssey" explores how memories shape identity, relationships and our understanding of ourselves and others. Bringing together audiences of every age, the production draws on the collective memories of each generation's teenage years, inviting reflection on memory not as a fixed record of the past, but as a living force that generations hold in common.

In remembering together, audiences encounter one another with new empathy and understanding and are invited to consider what each generation carries forward and what it owes the next. By engaging both intellect and emotion, "A Teen Odyssey" provides a compelling artistic lens through which to examine the ethical dimensions of remembering and forgetting.

Exploring identity, belonging and what connects us across the generations—it is a show as much for the teenager discovering who they are as for the adult who still remembers exactly how that felt.

Both playful and thought-provoking, it delivers a deeply human experience that stays with you long after the performance ends.

Bring your phone fully charged, arrive early, and save time by downloading the Kalliope 2 app from the Play Store or App Store. Aimed at audiences 12+.

The audience will be standing throughout, and will be required to move around during the performance (wheelchair accessible). Strobe Lighting and haze will be used in this performance.

Performance is supported in part by the Class of '64 and the Roger Mudd Center for Ethics.
