Director

Deep in the belly of a decommissioned ocean liner sits a man. He has spent his entire life on this ship. For Novecento, the transatlantic liner represents the world. Left behind on the ship as a foundling, he traveled the oceans as a fabulously gifted pianist, watching passengers come and go, and glimpsing dry land only from the railing. Together with the audience, actor Götz van Ooyen recreates the sea voyage of a lifetime in this monologue based on Alessandro Baricco's 1994 novella.
