Elles disent... L'Odyssée
A stunning reinterpretation of Homer's mythical epic!
Penelope has been waiting twenty years for Odysseus to return every day. Calypso is about to go through the same waiting process, letting him return to his beloved. As for Circe the magician, she refuses to do so, on pain of death.
Through her journey, a chorus of women - mother, lover and wife - tells the story of an Odyssey on a human scale. In a world where time passes too quickly, isn't the return too late, from the start?
Jean-Luc Lagarce, renowned for his exploration of the human condition through introspective dialogue, brings to life the epic's iconic women, offering a unique insight into the events and emotions that accompany Ulysses' tumultuous journey.
A contemporary and captivating take on one of Western literature's most iconic tales.
