About the Show
Concrete Temple Theatre is making its Off-Broadway debut with the presentation of The Whale at Barrow Street Theatre, following a tour this past August in the seven major cities of India and Sri Lanka. The Whale is Concrete Temple Theatre's adaptation of Moby Dick, featuring the often over-looked Sub-Sub-Librarian who plays not only Ishmael and Captain Ahab but Moby Dick himself.Using only his body, voice, and an extraordinary collection of hand-crafted and rigged props to create life on a whale ship and even the great whale himself, Carlo Adinolfi, a dancer and actor by training, puts into service a wide variety of storytelling traditions to tell his tale. The effect of one man trying to embody this enormous literary epic in 65 minutes (using only Melville's text) is simultaneously playful and profound. Running Time: 65 minutes
