New Bedford Whaling Museum Premieres CETACEAN (The Whale)
CETACEAN (The Whale) is the sixth installment in The Unreliable Bestiary, a lifelong performance series by artist and storyteller Deke Weaver—one for each letter of the alphabet, each representing an endangered species or habitat.
Blending lo-fi theatrical effects, original video, sound design, movement, storytelling, and cinematic documentation, this condensed version offers a darkly humorous, haunting meditation on whales, oceans, and the human condition in the Anthropocene.
The original large-scale 2023 production, created in collaboration with over 850 students, was described as a “mesmerizing, operatic memorial” and a “waking dream.” This one-night-only performance brings its layered, interdisciplinary storytelling to New Bedford’s historic Whaling Museum.
