Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria (2017)
My role: movement direction
“The climax was, of course, the archery scene where Supple and movement director Debbie Fionn Barr really created something virtuoso.” - Planet Hugill
"I have witnessed at first hand how Debbie works with dancers, actors and creative colleagues and I recognise in her a most original and tireless ability to keep looking, keep questioning, keep insisting on a search for the better way." - Tim Supple, theatre director
To mark Monteverdi’s 450th anniversary, I joined the creative team of the Grange Festival’s Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria, as movement director. Working within opera for the first time, I collaborated with an international, diverse, and intergenerational cast, exploring how movement could enhance the drama and storytelling of Monteverdi’s masterpiece.
