Hair of the Dog with Loren Niemi

“Moby Dick Tonight” Loren Niemi will tell a blended story using Melville’s Moby Dick classic as a crucible to examine our current situation in American Culture as obsession and fantasy rein powerful and dangerous. He will ask: “What is your White Whale?” While the essence of the story has always been “Man fights whale, whale wins,” Loren has used the elements of a young man’s search for adventure, whaling as an industry, our obsessions and grievances, and homo eroticism which are all present in the novel as a metaphor (or if you would prefer, a Rorschach) for understanding American Culture. This performance will touch on in our current situation, the creation and pursuit of any number of “white whales.” Loren Niemi has been telling personal and reconfigured traditional stories for over four decades now. His work combines vivid imagery with touches of poetry and a surprising intimacy.
