Moby Dick

Ishmael, a sailor, signs up for a voyage on the whaling ship "Pequod" under Captain Ahab. The captain's personal mission is to kill the gigantic White Whale that took his leg during a whale hunt. Throughout the show there will be struggles, sudden storms, and joyful raids; characters will emerge, stories will surface. Through a meticulous work of mechanical engineering the unexpected will happen: the ship becomes the whale. What first welcomed now shakes up: the skeleton of the hull capsizes and turns into the fearsome leviathan. The show has a fixed core group of actors, dancers, acrobats, musicians and technicians. This nucleus of 20 artists can integrate members of the local community or artists suggested by the hosting venue (groups of children, seniors, local musicians, members of various associations, prisoners, asylum seekers, etc.).
