“It wasn’t money that dragged the boat on the top the mountain in Fitzcarraldo, it was faith”.
Werner Herzog

In 2015, a theatrical company from Modena, decided to bring onstage one of the greatest novels in the history of literature. Moby Dick by Herman Melville. The show immediately exhibits all its complexity, and in the following three years it will jeopardize the very future of the company. A theatrical machine of eight tons and thirteen meters high, that moves within an open square, with one hundred between actors and participants.
It is the story of Teatro dei Venti (Theater of the Winds) and the gestation of a monstrous work, of crossing destinies, of storms falling on hopes of women and men. But it is also the story of all of us, of our dreams and our obsessions. To have a reason to live or die for.
