The whale project

Beschreibung

The whale project is inspired by the story of the super-prophet Jonah (old testament), focuses on the concept of “loop/karma/cycle-recycle”, from the simple pulse to the complex feedback, translated on stage in hijacked everyday-objects (like turntable, carousel, smoothie machine, etc...).
 
 The whale project is also a fascination for the anthropomorphic sounds (a saxophone or a balloon can sound like animals or fish such a whale).
 
 A point of view from the book Jonah can rejoin us today, it is this death drive tendency : the secret wish, to the destruction of the city/humanity.
 
 Looking at the current impact of humans amongst the environment, our answer is ecological tale where plastic bags are seen as creative instruments, not as a secret massive destructive weapon.
