FRIGID Festival Presents CETOLOGY
Cetology (pronounced a?oesee-TOL-oh-jeea??) is the study of whales. Cetology is also a new play written and performed by Nelia Miller and directed by Michele Stine, with live looping music composed by Alexandra Plattos Sulack and stunning animated, silhouette-style projections by Jenna Jo Pawlicki. This solo show warps the destructive story of Moby Dick and the selfless story of Jonah's whale in an attempt to understand being left behind by the ones we love. As Ahab's wife and Jonah's mother, Miller harnesses the power of women's anger and the delicacy of exercising that rage in this powerful story of love, loss, and...whales. Cetology brings an intimate perspective to the conversation around how women are expected to comport themselves and dampen their emotions to suit traditional constructs of romantic partnership and motherhood.
