An outcast fisherman was born under an unlucky star. But day after day, Santiago casts his nets, waiting for the catch that could redeem and reward his efforts. Breathtakingly staged with eight pools of water enhanced with dynamic lighting, costumes and sound, the work transforms Hemingway's Pulitzer-winning novel into a rumination on age, loss, nature, and what it means to be beautifully, stubbornly human.
