ULYSSES author   We journey when something moves us… The starting point for Ulysses was translating parts of Joyce’s novel into movement. From this idea, Ulysses evolved into a personal account of a journey: the physical journey of eight weeks, as well as the journey through the book, by reading, feeling and understanding Joyce’s work. Now it’s no longer the letters and the words of the text which are in translation; instead, it’s on one side the physical locations of where the new Ulysses was becoming, while on the other it’s the way Joyce’s novel is composed with its interweaving of locations, characters and meanings into a whole. The performance was created on locations which you could follow through maps. While journey lasted and in response to it, sketches, photographs, movements, recordings of sound and of light were collected. Every week they were woven into “threads” 01 - 08, which, together with the performance, constitute the whole image of the journey. The ninth and central thread is being woven in live.
