Il Palombaro
The diver is an enigmatic figure. A silent actor in the theatre of fish, an acrobat of the depths, a mythical character. Like someone from another world, the diver suddenly moves across dry land, surrounded by air. He is holding a map in his hand, and tries to find his way back to his natural element – the water. A surreal underwater world unfolds, as the diver attempts to catch with his net the exotic beings that wander around him.
On his way to find silence in the deep, the diver roams around in the city. The deep-sea diver is not just a man in the middle of an ocean exclusively for marine life. He hints at something else, he really is more than just a man in an atmospheric suit. He is a puppet for the silent fish theater, a deep acrobat of the profound, a pneumatic man. Here he produces bubbles, there he blows water, as he tries to catch with his net the exotic beings that wander around him. He roams with a map in hand, continuously searching for the path that will bring him back to his natural element – water.
Without a single word, with a touch of poetry and the clown’s unique attitude, the Diver creates his own undersea world, where both children and adults are captured – by his net and his charm.
