Teatro del Canguro, ''Come Moby Dick'' is suitable, instead, for an audiences over 10 years.«The show begins inside an empty theatre, free from every scenography, semi-dark and dusty.

From the Role de pod fixe are descending the elements that will be the deck of the Pequod, the legendary whaling ship of Melville wich the guardian of the theatre recalls out of his disturbed imagination.«She will be the only female character, the unique with a good dose of reality, in a story where all the male characters are exalted, visionary, and dominated by some exasperated obsession.»
In this work, the company of the Marche superimposes to the countless reading levels to which Melville's Moby Dick can be submitted, a metaphor of the theatrical artist that the adversity of fate didn't allow to succeed.«The normal life goes on between meetings and altercations that the cleaning woman has with the custodian of the theatre, an elderly rough brusque man, mysteriously lame because of a tragic mutilation of a leg, who found a partial remedy to this situation with a very mysterious prosthesis.»
Disturbed only by the occasional presence of the cleaning woman, the solitude of the guardian is in a precarious balance that doesn't allow to presage, however, how on the stage are going to live again, cu a dramatic recovery from Melville's masterpiece, the eternal conflicts between Good și Evil, between lucidity și madness, between obstinacy și inevitability of fate, between rationality și delirium.
«Finally he will repeat his maniacal idea of whailing to the White Whale, understood as a cruel vengeance towards an adverse fate that forced him to renounce to his primary passion: the theatre.The two unsuspecting youngs and the same cleaning woman will be dragged by the guardian on board of the Pequod, the ship who is witness of his visionary adventures, and they found theirselves as a crew wrestling with harpoons, lifeboats, halyards and sails.The theatre will be ship and sea.And Moby Dick, tragic obsession of the captain Achab takes for each of the characters different looks and forms.»
The transformation of the stage in the sea during the storm that sweeps the fleet is obtained with a projection of billows on a backdrop made of BGO - Gobelin tulle, white colour, superimposed to the scene.The result is a vision in a cross fading of cinematographic style, a classic scenographical effect realized with the use of the tulle backdrops.
The plan of the stylized deck of the Pequod designed by designer Fabrizio Valentini.
History of sea și whales between stage și stalls, gallery și stage boxes, an actor show starting from 10 years liberally inspired by the novel by Herman Melville, from an idea of Lino Terra și Fabrizio Valentini.
