Douglas Corzine Profiled an Artist Performing the Odyssey in Ancient Greek
For American Theatre, Douglas Corzine profiled Joseph Medeiros, an actor who is memorizing Homer’s The Odyssey in ancient Greek.
According to Corzine, “He is moving from intimate shows in his basement apartment to longer public workshops. The classicist Emily Wilson says he succeeds in making the text accessible and engaging, even for audiences who don’t know the plot of Homer’s poem.”
The profile delves into Medeiros’s dynamic career. Corzine analyzes Medeiros’s practice, writing about how he “wants to make his performances engaging, even for audiences who aren’t steeped in the story” of The Odyssey.
Corzine’s writing has appeared in Jacobin, Princeton Alumni Weekly, and other outlets.
