Description

It all started with the discovery of an unfinished manuscript, left by his mother, bearing this somewhat enigmatic title: Without Ulysses.<div> Very quickly, Liora felt the urge to take up the mantle and fill in the gaps in the narrative, offering an ending to this story that had none. Thus, with her collaborator Pascal Cesari, she conceived a poignant and highly humorous fiction about the anticipation of love. A passionate story that rivals the heroes of the famous Greek epic.</div><div><br></div><div> A comedy structured like a semi-serious, semi-fantastical investigation, peppered with poetic anachronisms and led by three actors playing the apprentice sorcerers of love. Who hasn't dreamed of consulting the National Agency for Cathartic Research to delve into the past? Can one truly love one's entire life, and even die of love?</div><div><br></div><div> In Liora Jaccottet's work, even though Ulysses is no longer there, there is no woman in mourning. The waiting of this modern-day Penelope is neither futile nor passive, but rather a creative force, a source of literary emancipation. A magnificent ode to absolute love.</div><div><br></div>
