IN THE EYE OF THE WHALE is a theatrical play created with internal actors from the Las Palmas I Penitentiary Center (Salto el Negro).

This theatrical project proposes, through the reading and analysis of some chapters of Melville's masterpiece, a deep exploration of universal themes such as DESTINY and its fulfillment, the OBSESSIONS we fight against or succumb to, the DESIRES capable of leading us to PERDITION or HAPPINESS, the WOUNDS inflicted and received, as well as the relationship of the HUMAN BEING with EVIL and with the SUBLIME. The entire journey is constructed as an interior and exterior, physical and symbolic crossing, where the SEA emerges as an extreme territory for the search for meaning, for confrontation with one's own abysses and for the possibility of fullness.

At the end of this journey, Pliny the Elder's warning also resonates: the eye of the whale observes from afar what dwells in men, guarding secrets that perhaps we should not know.
