Way Out West, the Sea Whispered Me
Cupola Bobber's 4th evening length performance.
"I do not believe that these men sit by the sea all day and all night so as not to miss the time when the whiting pass."
- WG Sebald
Looking for machinery, we discovered the sea. We walked across the bay, and had to imagine the water; we went swimming in
the sand. Looking for perspective, we found ourselves upside down. "...and so on and so on, picture after picture, incident
after incident, a drifting panorama of ever changing, ever dissolving views manufactured by my mind without any help from
me."* An internal adventure of miniscule proportions.
* Mark Twain
It'll be finished in April, 2009. Portions of the performance were developed as part of an International Fellowship at the
UK's Nuffield Theatre, with some additional support from LanternHouse International.
