Description

Odysseus is shipwrecked on the island of the Phaeacians. Stripped of everything: nameless, faceless, without a story to tell. It is Nausicaa who takes him in.<div> Grégoire Letouvet, composer associated with Les Plateaux Sauvages, and Laëtitia Guédon, director of our production company, have created a work born from their long-standing collaboration: a polymorphous opera-banquet at the crossroads of theater and music, freely inspired by the myth of Nausicaa. Alongside them, author Joséphine Serre wrote the libretto. Conceived as much as an experience as a performance, Nausicaa – Let's Raise Our Glasses to the Faceless unfolds between stage and banquet – artists and audiences gathered in the same space, around the same table. At its heart: hospitality, as both an artistic gesture and a question of our time.</div><div><br></div><div> Odysseus is shipwrecked on the island of the Phaeacians. Unrecognizable, stripped of everything: nameless, faceless, without a coherent narrative. It is Nausicaa who takes him in. In this rewriting of the myth, she becomes the central figure: facing the war hero, she offers another world made of care, listening, and recognition of the other. A counter-narrative. Between opera, theater, and performance, the creation unfolds in a hybrid form where voice, body, and music compose a shared space. A banquet, a stage, a place where stories, languages, and presences meet.</div>
