The Vortex Odyssey: Underground

We've told you all about this fundraising extravaganza of theatrical diversion from that myth-aligned Vortex company of artists and raconteurs, and this listing is so you'll know it's still happening. This Underground section – a virtual, livestreamed evocation of the underworld of gods and such that the ancient Greek hero Odysseus had to deal with, but updated with modern concerns – is an accompaniment to the aboveground Odyssey spectacle that you'll actually drive your car through. This online-only portion is riddled with can-you-solve-it puzzles, animations, and interactive performances –featuring appearances by the likes of sexologist Annie Sprinkle, commedia dell’arte troupe La Fenice, the improv savants Parallelogramophonograph, and more.

Through Oct. 10. Fri.-Sat., 8pm. $33-1000.

The Vortex: Odyssey

This here's the main, aboveground, right-there-in-real-life manifestation of the Vortex fundraising show that we've been telling you about. Follow in the footsteps of that Greek hero Odysseus – follow in your actual car, packed with your closest friends, guided by the voice of Athena, through the Manor Road neighborhood – and witness the living tableaux of the ancient Odyssey, now updated to confront societal challenges of our modern times, as live performers take over an array of familiar urban spaces and transform them into theatrical phantasmagoria for your fuck-this-pandemic pleasure. Ah, those seductive Sirens … the Cyclops … the island of Calypso … the aquatic treacheries of Scylla and Charybdis! It's like one of those motorized safaris, right, except the animals are (more or less) people and the reality is mythic? It's like … going to Hades in a Toyota handbasket? Bon voyage, traveler, and watch out for those naiads.

Through Oct. 10. Thu.-Sat., 6-9pm. $125 per car.
