Integrating pageant puppetry, intersecting micro-parades, and looping performances, Odysseus at Hell Gate pairs texts from the Odyssey with historic accounts of North Brother Island, Hart Island, and other forgotten places in the city\u2019s maritime shadowlands.<\/p>\n<p>Park visitors will assume the role of the homeward-bound hero, using fragmentary charts and haphazard guidance to navigate the capricious currents of New York\u2019s complex island history, from potter\u2019s fields to pleasure parks to penitentiaries. There is no order or sequence, as characters appear and disappear throughout the park, leaving lost mariners free to wander through a shifting immersive narrative. Odysseus at Hell Gate runs continuously throughout the Park, from 6 to 8 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s NY Times ArtsBeat video features a site specific installation at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens.
