Every time I sing this song, I hope it’s the last time.

A lone Poet, exhausted from the front lines of history’s epic wars and aided only by a single Muse, steps onto an empty stage and weaves a tale filled with honor and hubris, fortitude and fallibility, and righteousness and blind rage. Intimate, urgent, and incisive, this modern retelling—adapted from Robert Fagles’ gold-standard translation and featuring a live score from Milwaukee’s own Klassik—hones Homer’s epic to a gleaming edge as captivating as it is timeless.

"Camara deftly slices through the tale of strife and passion, performing at the deeper end of emotion throughout the narrative." —The Shepherd Express

"As The Poet, N’Jameh Camara turns the theater-in-the-round into a time machine... Her performance is amazing - with intense focus and sustained high energy that is almost superhuman." —Ryan Jay Reviews

"On a bare stage, Camara performs the way an ancient bard might have, relying on her verbal craft, powerful voice, and fierce personality." —The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
