Скачать или смотреть Blair Thomas: Melville's Moby Dick & Puppetry

It just might be the greatest work of American literature. Riveting readers for generation after generation, it commands a "stillness of the soul, an awe" (D. H. Lawrence). But Captain Ahab, Ishmael, and the whale have also held legions of performers in their thrall. The latest among them is Chicago's Blair Thomas. The co-founder of Redmoon Theater has been obsessed with the big one that got away for decades, exploring Moby Dick in multiple ways, from large-scale puppetry to intimate one-person shows. Join the principal of Blair Thomas & Company as he takes us on his personal quest for the ultimate interpretation of Herman Melville's classic.

Thomas is joined in conversation by Jessica Thebus, associate artist with Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
