IGOA, Enrique: Calypso & Ulises, ballet in four scenes, 2004 - III. The lament of Ulysses (excerpt) by Enrique Igoa published on 2017-03-02T18:24:32Z Calypso & Ulises is a free recreation of some passages of Odyssey, which provides many possibilities for the choreography: ensemble numbers in the Assembly of gods or in the Island of Calypso, duos (pas de deux) between Ulysses and Calypso, Hermes and Calypso, etc. It can be supposed, even it is not certain, that Ulysses is in the island with some of his men, and that Calypso, at the same time, is surrounded by several nymphs. There are also many different and evocatives scenarios for the four parts, from the divine Olympus, through the exotic island of Calypso and her palace, to the construction of the raft or the final departure of Ulysses. III. The lament of Ulysses (Odyssey. Fifth Rhapsody) The eyes of Ulysses, sitting in the beach, don’t dry up because of continuous tears, and he burns his life sighing for the homeward journey.
