MOBY DICK

After enchanting us with her unique world last season (A Doll's House, Dracula), virtuoso puppeteer Yngvild Aspeli returns with her spectacular adaptation of Herman Melville's novel MOBY DICK.

From the opening images, the stage turns into a shifting space where waves, creatures, and visions emerge. Seven performers bring about fifty figures to life—life-sized, lilliputian, or gargantuan—creating dense scenic material woven with shadows and tension. At the core of the story, Ahab's quest, driven by his consuming obsession with the whale Moby Dick, leads the crew on a journey of no return.

Between monumental puppets, visible or invisible manipulations, and video projections, everything conspires to blur the lines between reality and illusion. The gaze wanders, fascinated, in this perpetually metamorphosing theater of extreme beauty.
