Plexus Polaire, a French-Norwegian puppetry company, presents a captivating adaptation of Moby-Dick for the MimeLondon festival.
Director Yngvild Aspeli describes puppetry as a medium revealing the unseen, akin to a ouija board, enhancing storytelling while blending actors with puppets.
The production employs diverse elements, merging live music, video projections, and creative scales to depict the story's immense themes.
Aspeli emphasizes that puppets serve not as replacements for actors but as unique storytellers with distinct expressive capabilities.
Moby-Dick runs at the Barbican in London between January 22-25, with the festival starting on January 14.
