Moby Dick; or The Whale - präsentiert von Moved by the Motion

Dive into a mesmerizing and unforgettable experience with *Moby Dick; or The Whale – präsentiert von Moved by the Motion*. Inspired by Herman Melville’s monumental 1851 novel, this isn't your typical adaptation. Resident author Wu Tsang tackles the leviathan of a book – a seemingly insurmountable challenge – transforming its dense narrative into a vibrant, intoxicatingly sensual performance. Combining the raw power of silent film, the expressive language of dance, and the surrealism of computer game graphics, Tsang reimagines Melville’s tale through a strikingly queer lens. Featuring actors from the Schauspielhaus ensemble and the "Moved by the motion" collective, this ninety-minute journey expands upon the original’s themes of humanity, environment, and the profound challenges of connection. Live music composed and performed by Caroline Shaw, the Music College’s Artistic Partner (2022-2025), elevates the performance into a truly unique and immersive spectacle. Prepare to be captivated by a visually stunning and emotionally resonant exploration of obsession, resilience, and the depths of the human spirit. It's bloody, slippery, and dangerous – but utterly unmissable.
