Ballad of the Pale Fisherman
1420 S Washington Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55454
United States
What happens when a fisherman falls in love with a woman who happens to be a seal? Faced with the dueling calls of land and sea, which will she choose?
Transatlantic Love Affair makes its premiere as part of the Southern Theater's ArtShare program with a remount of their very first production, Ballad of the Pale Fisherman. In this Ivey-Award-winning reimagining of the selkie folktale, a fisherman falls in the love with a beautiful seal-woman, and takes her as his wife. But a love that defies the laws of land and sea is never simple (see: Little Mermaid, The), and the seal-woman must eventually make a choice borne of betrayal and self-sacrifice. Will she choose her past or her future, her heart or her home?
