Pénélopeia, une autre Odyssée de femmes

The Trojan War lasted ten years. Ulysses set off again, victorious, without knowing that ten more years would pass before he saw the shores of Ithaca again.

Legends are not set in stone. One must know how to unravel the thread to resew the truth, between the lines of what the poets sang.

But who sings of Penelope, the silent queen, the faithful wife?

This play recounts the burning tale of Penelope, wife of a great Ulysses, who finds herself at the head of a kingdom of old women, old men, and children. If Ithaca is merely a harbor for heroes, it is a kingdom to maintain for women, those waiting for the return of a father, a son, a brother, or a husband. In her shadow, Telemachus, her only son, awaits his destiny. He is only the "son of Ulysses".

An epic retelling of the Iliad and the Odyssey. The intimate, sacred, and political portrait of a lucid woman and a flawless strategist. Through the ruins of Troy and the songs of Homer's Odyssey, the queen reclaims her place among heroic female figures.
