Royal Ballet of Flanders
The Return of Ulysses

For twenty years Penelope had waited for the return of her husband, King Odysseus of Ithaca, who had gone off to do battle with the city of Troy. The Return of Ulysses, which the German choreographer Christian Spuck wrote for the Royal Ballet of Flanders, is a ballet about Penelope’s endless wait. It is about hopeful hopelessness, the pressure from the power-hungry suitors who wished to take Odysseus’ place and about the great moment of his return, when Penelope no longer recognises her husband.
