Events Description
Inspired by a true story from Newfoundland, Between Breaths is a profound play that sails through Dr. Jon Lien’s life’s work saving whales trapped in fishing nets. Over his career, “The Whale Man” rescued over 500 whales and earned the respect of the island’s fishermen, but Dr. Jon’s biggest fight came late in life as dementia threatened his body and mind. Featuring a live score by modern indie folk trio The Once, Between Breaths is a beautifully hopeful play about death, disintegration, and the parts of ourselves that we hold onto after everything else is gone.
