Creator

Over the course of his 20 year career Mick has been involved in over 50 full scale productions, but his most ambitious project of them all was the creation of Moby Mick. Produced in conjunction with three french national theaters, Le Quartz, Théatre-Senart, et le Tandem, plus Blueline Productions, Mick Holsbeke toured France for a 60 performance run in some of the finest nationale theaters in France.

In Moby Mick, the August-Acrobat-Dancer-Juggler-Musician welcomes us in to the belly of the whale, to discover the depths of the ocean of stories. Submerging us into his fantasy both, poetic and absurdly ridiculous. A metaphor depicting Mick’s relationship to his internal clown, Moby Mick is a succession of acts held by him alone. With Harpoon, line, and accessories, our sailor, hunter hunted, is swallowed whole in the enormous belly of this immense leviathan.

One’s comfortability inside the belly of a glorious whale, ebbs and flows not unlike the sea that contains them both. Some days are better than others, but there may be a limit to his patience. Five star hotel or pungent emptiness, It’s simply a matter of perspective.Will he ever escape? Or rather, will he spend the rest of his days the figment of someone’s imagination, a living myth; dreaming of life as it was before? Only time will tell, and only the sea knows his fate.
