He Was A Sailor, The Sea Was Inside Him (Sometimes there were Storms)...

Work:: He Was A Sailor, The Sea Was Inside Him (Sometimes there were Storms)... (S0968062964)

Becalmed in the middle of nowhere, Salty Bugger the Sailor is simply waiting for something - anything - to change. Lazlo Pearlman has lived the same moment. When the door to himself was finally revealed he had to make the choice between sailing into an unknown horizon, or battening down the hatches and waiting for the squall to pass. What happens when the door of change opens? Do you walk through it, or walk on by? Sail into the unknown like Salty Bugger, or stick to chartered waters? He Was A Sailor... explores the unknown in gender, and the tension of the moment before, during and after the storm of change. He Was A Sailor... is a surrealist cabaret that dips into the grotesque, influenced by silent films and cartoons, the art of Pierre et Gilles and Fassbinder's Querelle. A kind of fantasmagoria channelling the spirit of early German expressionist cinema and the 1980s cult classic Oingo Boingo's Forbidden Zone, He Was A Sailor... embarks on a voyage well-stocked with sea shanties, 1930s novelty songs, and Busby Berkeley - inspired dance numbers - with boats.
