Elles disent... l'Odyssée

"When they talked about Ulysses, the children began to tell wonderful stories they had been taught."

Already twenty years Penelope has been waiting every day for Ulysses to return. Waiting is what Calypso is about to experience, as she lets the man she loves set sail again, to rejoin her 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 - tell us the story of an Odyssey on a human scale.

An epic and modern feminine breath, questioning the place of women and children at the heart of a patriarchal society. Telemachus, son of the hero of Troy, is unable to find his way and who he is, while living in the shadow of an absent father who left his mark on history. In a world where time passes too quickly, isn't it too late to return, right from the start?

In Elles disent ... L'Odyssée, we find the major themes of Lagarci's work: departure, waiting, return. And what if this Odyssey were conceived as that of its author's entire oeuvre?
