This performance comes from the idea of having Teatro Potlach’s experience in dealing with the work on the actor and the scenic presence, coexisting with the most modern and advanced digital and light engineering techniques.
The actors are literally 'immersed' in a magical, almost dreamlike scenery, made of digital projections and state-of-the-arts LED lights, and they will take the spectator with them in the discovery of the deep sea world and of the mysterious Nautilus led by Captain Nemo.
From the famous book by Jules Verne, a performance arises with a strong visual impact, which is based on the starting concept of combining narrative techniques that belong to the drama theatre, with digital scenographic technques, to recreate the visionary effect of the novel pages.
The performance has been and still is appreciated in theatres and Festivals all over the world.
It is suitable for an adult audience, as well as for teenagers and children, aged 7 and up.
