Tres noches en Ítaca, by Alberto Conejero, is a tragicomedy that explores family bonds, memory, and the possibility of reinventing oneself even in maturity.
Years ago, Alicia, a classical Greek teacher, made an unexpected decision: to leave her life in Spain and move alone to live in Ithaca, the island associated with the myth of Odysseus. Two decades later, her three daughters return to that place to take care of her burial and face a family story full of silences, questions, and unresolved affections.
Over the course of three nights on the island, the sisters reconstruct their mother’s figure and review their own relationship with the past. The play thus becomes a reflection on the right to start over, on the decisions that shape a life, and on the love that the absent continue to project onto those who remain.
At the same time, the text serves as a tribute to Greece and classical culture, whose myths and echoes run through the work and engage in dialogue with contemporary experience.
