Gulliver, after being shipwrecked, discovers the Laputa archipelago: four extraordinary islands with ever more surprising inhabitants.
A show directed by Madeleine Louarn and Jean-François Auguste based on the text by Jonathan Swift.
Publicity
Madeleine Louarn and Jean-François Auguste adapt the third of Gulliver's Voyages, with the actors of the Catalyze troupe, a troupe of actors with mental disabilities.
The latter wrote part of the texts to reclaim the characters.
In this show for all audiences, the actors' writing mingles with that of Jonathan Swift to question our collective and individual fragilities, our fear of death, our irrational reactions and our clumsy utopias.
Guest:
Madeleine Louarn,
co-director of the play “
Gulliver, the last trip”.
Founder of the Catalyze theater troupe, a troupe of actors with mental disabilities.

Text: Jonathan Swift
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) is an Irish satirist of English origin.
"Gulliver's Travels", written after the economic crash of 1720, were published and partially censored for nearly ten years before appearing in 1735 in their full version.
They remain considered as his major work.
