A Reinterpretation of a Classic
A Short Performance That Takes You Far Away
Old Santiago returned to port, empty-handed and hungry 84 days ago. But on day 85, everything changes as he sets sail again, far from Cuba’s shores. He makes an encounter that will change his life forever.
This short puppet performanc of Ernest Hemingway’s most famous novel revisits the work through the lens of connection to oneself, to others, and to elements of transcendence. It explores the feeling of loneliness that can be experienced daily.
Aside from the spoken introduction, this puppet rereading leaves plenty room for traditional Cuban music and action that carry the story. The show’s visual landscape provides a setting that showcases the puppets. The audience’s heart, like a gentle wave, is captured.
