Argonautika Tickets

Argonautika is a contemporary mythic epic theatre production created by the Lookingglass Theatre Company, directed and adapted by Mary Zimmerman. Rooted in the ancient voyage of Jason and the Argonauts, the piece blends Lookingglass-style ensemble performance with puppetry, live music, and minimal fourth-wall elements. Since its world premiere at Lookingglass Theatre in Chicago on October 29, 2006, Argonautika has become a signature example of immersive, mythic storytelling that travels to venues across the United States.

Led by a collaborative ensemble, Argonautika continues to resonate with audiences through rich visual design, sweeping storytelling, and a fearless approach to adaptation. The show is an anchor in the Lookingglass repertoire and a notable achievement in contemporary theatre that blends classical source material with modern performance techniques.

Key moments in the Argonautika journey include its major engagements at Berkeley Rep (2007) and national tours, with 2025 performances planned at the University of Iowa (November 7–15, 2025) and Brandeis University, among others. Mary Zimmerman, a MacArthur Fellow and Tony Award recipient for Metamorphoses, continues to shape the piece’s direction and its status as a landmark in ensemble theatre.
