ODYSEY: BETA VERSION

This year, we set out on yet another Odyssey, rich in a kaleidoscope of unfamiliar sensations and unexpected stories. ODYSSEY: BETA VERSION is a journey through successive “ports” — walls stretched across a map of impressions. Here, the hero may wear a thousand faces, space does not end at the corner of a tenement, and time becomes both a tool and a raw material of imagination.

Six walls — six chapters of an audiovisual epic, but the order is yours to decide: the viewer — officially appointed a beta-tester — chooses their own path, pace and episodes. Each journey thus becomes unique, with time and space shrinking or expanding according to the viewer’s private logic.

Since time immemorial, we’ve been drifting through stories — it’s the only way we know how to find our “self” and give meaning to events, as if there truly were a beginning and an end. Just like Homer’s wandering Odysseus, or the astronaut in 2001: A Space Odyssey — both travelling across the infinite, while building their identities along the way. Different protagonists, yet the same narrative code: a desire to go further, to experience something, and return transformed.

Will our journey reach its finale? Or might we pause within another episode, already fulfilled by this test version of the world? One thing is certain: this ODYSSEY unfolds on our own terms, as we test which tempo, which vision of the creators best resonates with us. And who knows — perhaps this beta version will be enough, for the myth of a complete and final version of reality is something we gave up believing in long ago.
