Cast off for the mutiny against body norms!

Inspired by and critically engaging with the literary classic Moby-Dick, this multi-bodied ensemble delves into themes of body fat, weight-based discrimination, and internalized stigma. Captain Ahab’s obsessive quest for the whale becomes a metaphor for the battle with one’s own body weight, while the shouted nautical commands aboard the ship morph into patriarchal voices echoing within our own minds. Oscillating between hope and hatred—hatred that, faced with the overwhelming power of these voices, turns inward—a process of reckoning with one's own body dimensions is set in motion.
