‘It is not down on any map; true places never are,’ wrote Melville in Moby Dick. Sergio López, heart and soul of the company Teatro Percutor, with which he has worked for 15 years producing works and travelling, presents a free, creative and unpretentious adaptation of the novel featuring the great white whale. It is the first piece in a trilogy that reflects – via what he calls a theatre of things – on human beings’ need to go, to leave and to be in motion. The trilogy has the general title of Viajes (Journeys) . And the destination of this first journey is one of those true places that is not on any map, a trip to hell, the interior hell of a man who, like so many others, is obsessed with subduing nature, devoting himself to this task with passion, rage, pain and pleasure. Journeys like these are what distance us from terra firma, yanking the solidity from under our feet. Objects, puppets, music and lights at the service of a mini-show for some 30 people (for audiences 12 and over). He wants the audience to sleep in the inn with Ishmael and Queequeg, to peer over the edge of the Pequod and smell the sea, or at least to hear it. You only need imagination, darkness and silence. What you won’t see is the famous white whale, although like what happens with the true protagonists of stories, even though they aren’t there, they are everywhere.
