Description

Set in a sun‑kissed summer of 1808, the drama opens on the tranquil shore of Caldes d’Estrac, where the sea glints and church bells toll. Nausica, a young princess with a restless spirit, drifts between playful games with her companions and moments of quiet contemplation, her thoughts turning toward the legendary hero Odysseus. The first act swirls with lively dialogue, teasing exchanges, and a sense of longing that hints at deeper destinies waiting beyond the river’s edge.

Through lyrical verses and vivid Catalan scenery, the play weaves humor and melancholy, portraying Nausica’s inner conflict between youthful frivolity and the weight of mythic expectations. Listeners will be drawn into the chorus of voices—friends, servants, and the princess herself—as they tease, chant, and glimpse the fragile hope that love and destiny might intertwine. The atmosphere feels both timeless and rooted in the ordinary rhythms of daily life, setting the stage for the tragic unfolding to come.
