ODYSSEE Theater is a Vienna theatre ensemble that stages classical works of world literature, including Goethe's Faust, plays by Shakespeare, Schiller and Ibsen-era repertoire, and ancient tragedy. Its rehearsal and stage work rests on goetheanistic speech formation (Sprachgestaltung), a method that traces back to Rudolf Steiner and was developed further by Karl Rössel-Majdan and Michail Cechov.

Audiences attend performances, and admission at the group's home venue, the Friedrich Eymann Waldorfschule in Vienna, is by free donation. At external venues the price is 30 EUR unless stated otherwise, with reductions available on request. Revenue therefore comes from donations and admission fees.

The group traces its origins to the Spielgemeinschaft "Epidaurus" of the private Goetheanistic Conservatory and has used the name ODYSSEE since autumn 1996. Its home base is in Vienna. Upcoming dates include Faust I on 31 October 2026 and Faust II on 1 November 2026 at the Waldorf school.

Product: Staged productions of classical and world-literature plays, including Goethe's Faust I and II, with video documentation of the Faust production.
