"The Whale Street" features a true urban odyssey from Captain Ahab in his pursuit of the famous cetacean. With this production, Compagnie CPPP has adapted the scaling of the bestseller Moby Dick to the one in a city. The story's various twists and turns are enacted to the rhythm of live music, narrated by the amazing feats of the circus artists and the performance of the dancers. The mythical creature's encounter, his pursuit and their final battle transform the city streets into the pages of this spectacular novel.
