The old Man and the Sea

Big game hunter. Deep sea fishermen. Civil war fighters. Womanizer. Ernest Hemingway was many things. Successful. Independent. Very masculine. And he suffered alive. Two days after his discharge from the clinic that was supposed to treat his depression, he shot himself to death in 1961. His life was also arduous, like that of the fisherman Santiago, whose duel with the fish he described in his most famous novel “The old man and that Sea ”describes.

Spencer Tracey, Anthony Quinn and Robert Redford played Santiago in adaptations of the Hemingway novel; Horst Janson did it on stage. Johann von Bülow portrays the fisherman at the Kurhaus Hamm; the renowned Boulanger Trio enriches the reading with music. Piazzolla’s “Seasons” are an atmospheric backdrop for the duel between fish and humans. Ernest Bloch’s “Nocturnes” sprinkle in dramatic spice.
