About
In May 2020, Montrealers awoke to an unlikely and magical sight. Between the Clock Tower and the iconic Ferris Wheel, a fluke broke the water, announcing the arrival of a young humpback whale that had strayed over 400 km upriver. Her presence captured the city and the nation at a time of isolation and confusion.
Born from a profound love for whales and the oceans they inhabit, Whalefall examines the bonds between whales and humans, asking how we might learn from them. It uses large-scale puppetry, low-fi projections, object theatre, and original live music to convey findings from interviews with various experts in the field.
