Unter Dem Meer dei Familie Floz.
Without a single spoken word, Familie Flöz creates a maritime dream universe and populates it with highly clueless but lovable characters.
Inspired by Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”, Flöz spins an absurdly funny story about a generational conflict.
The ageing ship’s crew has lost the adventurous spirit of Verne’s heroes over the years, going round in circles and getting tangled up in trivialities.
But time is running out and everyone is in the same boat! The masks of the characters come to life through the audience’s imagination – the story is thus a joint creation of the actors and the audience.
Erik Satie, a composer as odd as he is visionary, is at the musical center of the piece. His music, written in the heyday of the silent movie era, is closely related to the theatrical art of Familie Flöz.
With his arrangements and compositional additions, Daniel Ott encounters the selected works with a contemporary musical language. The musical soundscape becomes the inner monologue of the silent characters, their dreams, fears and longings.
Unter Dem Meer è una collaborazione del Theater Basel e dei Familie Floz.
Basato su Ventimila leghe sotto i mari di Jules Verne, con musiche di Erik Satie e Daniel Ott.
