Moby Dick

Description

Performance in a dramatization of Herman Melville's universal novelInspired by Shakespeare's poetry and the archaism of biblical texts, Herman Melville's universal novel tells the famous adventure story of the enormous white whale Moby Dick and its vengeful hunter, Captain Ahab. Stateless and driven by blind hatred, he gathers around him a community of conspiratorial companions who, in their struggle against the forces of nature, face the primary questions of man's quest for meaning: Why do we live? Melville describes with powerful imagery and philosophical depth the struggle of man with himself and nature, thus painting a visionary portrait of our modern civilization. THE PERSONA ENSEMBLE is a professional ensemble of independent theater artists based in Munich who, through their exceptional treatment of language and their clear and unpretentious style of acting, live their conviction: to convey to the audience, in an understandable and emotionally touching way, the richness of the life intelligence of great texts in all their deep, poetic, and humorous facets.
