Description

presents

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

in partnership with San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

Original Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Directed by Ava Roy

Fridays 3:30-6:30pm; Saturdays & Sundays 1-4pm

October 31 – November 16, 2014

Join We Players at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park for an intimate sailing performance and inspired conversation on Alma, one of the National Historic Landmark ships at Hyde Street Pier.

We Players takes this famous poem to sea aboard the scow schooner Alma, breathing life into the lines while sailing the bay. Through music, movement and the living word, audiences will enter the poem while engaging the San Francisco bay with all of their senses – the smell of salt tinges the air and westerly breezes guide us through cold Pacific waters.

The poem explores a violation of nature and the resulting psychological effects on the mariner and on all those who hear his tale. The mariner must grapple with the crushing weight of loneliness and guilt and ultimately, seek a path of redemption. Through the poem, we are confronted with man’s fragile relationship with nature, and the humbling effects of the supreme elemental forces of the sea. There are myriad stories related to this same theme, embedded in the history at San Francisco Maritime. In addition to experiencing a site-integrated performance with We Players, audiences will also receive specially-developed site interpretation and be invited to participate in group dialogue.

BE ADVISED: THE PERFORMANCE INCLUDES BRIEF TOTAL NUDITY.
