Telemaque & Calypso

At the end of the world, on the mythical island Ogygia, while Neptune unleashes the storm, the grieving Calypso tries to seduce a young and beautiful shipwrecked man named Telemachus ... Will the son of Odysseus follow the dangerous charms of the nymph? Will he manage to leave the island where his father was once held captive as a humble mortal in the plan of the gods? Télémaque & Calypso, the quintessence of the Homeric epic, is a blazing tribute to Destouche's dramatic power and his particular care for the "liveliness of the speech stream" and the naturalness of pronunciation. After Sémiramis, Margaux Blanchard and Sylvain Sartre continue their brilliant exploration of the masterworks of the adventurous musketeer-composer, which are now finally being rediscovered.
