NAUSICAA - LEVONS NOS VERRES AUX SANS-VISAGES | LAËTITIA GUÉDON, GREGOIRE LETOUVET & JOSÉPHINE SERRE

Grégoire Letouvet, associate composer at Les Plateaux Sauvages, and Laëtitia Guédon, director of our factory, bring to fruition a creation born of their long-term collaboration: a polymorphous opera-banquet at the intersection of theatre and music, freely inspired by the myth of Nausicaa. At their side, author Joséphine Serre writes the libretto. Conceived as an experience as much as a show, Nausicaa – Levons nos verres aux sans-visages unfolds between stage and banquet – artists and audience brought together in the same space, around the same table. At its heart: hospitality, as an artistic gesture and a question of the present time.

Ulysses is washed ashore on the island of the Phaeacians. Unrecognizable, stripped of everything: without name, without face, without a viable story. It is Nausicaa who takes him in. In this rewriting of the myth, she becomes the central figure: facing the war hero, she proposes another world made of care, listening, and recognition of the other. A counter-narrative. Between opera, theatre, and performance, the creation unfolds a hybrid form where voices, bodies, and music compose a shared space. A banquet, a stage, a place where stories, languages, and presences meet.
