“Back To Ithaca: A Contemporary Odyssey” is a devised-theatre project conceived and directed by Theatre Arts assistant professor Dr. Saviana Condeescu and is based on interviews with Ithaca veterans. “Back to Ithaca” was developed with the IC Theatre Arts students Sam Adrian, Jazzmin Bonner, Kate Cough, Serrana Gay, Jonathon Hamel, Douglas Hansen, Yanna Lantz, Quilla Otto-Jacobs, Sarah Schostack, Sara Stevens, and Anthony Toto.
“The goal is to create a very theatrical piece, a polyphonic dramatic/visual “poem” that pays tribute to the service of veterans while raising questions relevant to the global community today.” – Saviana Condeescu
