The Whale August 14, 2008

American Center in association with Sri Sathya Sai Auditorium presents 'The Whale' an adaptation of the classic American novel 'Moby Dick', which tells the classic story of man's struggle with nature performed by dancer and actor Carlo Adinolfi where he employs a wide variety of storytelling traditions to tell the timeless tale of a man’s struggle with the enormous forces of nature – as a single-minded ship’s captain seeks to capture an enormous whale while using only his body, voice and an extraordinary collection of hand-crafted and rigged props, Adinolfi recreates life on a ship and even the great whale himself in a performance that has been described as being both playful and profound as well as an intense, poetic reaction to the novel by Herman Melville.
