So his son, Telemachus, sets off an epic journey in search of his lost father. So begins Homer s epic poem, The Odyssey - the most revered of ancient epic poems and narrative reference point for John Akomfrah s unusual and genre defying story about chance, fate and redemption. Structured as an allegorical fable and loosely inspired by existential science fiction, The Nine Muses is a stylized, unusual and idiosyncratic retelling of the history of mass migration to post war Britain through the suggestive lens of the Homeric epic. Divided into nine overlapping musical chapters and mixing a vast array of archival material with shot scenes from the United States and the United Kingdom, The Nine Muses is a modern recasting of Homer s epic as a song cycle on journeys, on migration, on memory and the power of elegy.
