REVIEW: Showing now through March 13, the play presents a future world where proposed legislation seeks to deal with rising sea levels but in a way that would irreversibly change the ocean as we know it. What results is a prolonged performance.
Saving the ocean and thus the world is a noble cause, but not much can save the too-plump presentation in"The play, now showing at American Repertory Theater's Loeb Drama Center, presents a future world where rising sea levels have turned New York into an island of memorials accessed only by ferry and Osaka, Japan, into an underwater destination.
But the Ocean does not want to be mastered. So it comes to plead its case before the bespectacled Mr. Majority , stop the seven seas agenda and show senate members how inextricably connected humans are to the ocean and everything in it. But the argument to be made isn’t an easy one. Still, there were moments in the script when Mr. Majority and the Ocean’s heated debate didn’t provide much space for Kidwell to morph between the two characters. At one point, the actor started saying the Ocean's next line while still removing Mr. Majority’s red glasses. The show might be better served if Mr. Majority and the Ocean were portrayed by two separate actors, but maybe the choice was made to convey the interconnectedness between humans and the ocean.
Creative duo Lisa D’Amour and Katie Pearl are the playwright and director. Their Obie Award-winning company, PearlDamour, is known for immersive works thatsuch as “How to Build a Forest,” an eight-hour performance where a simulated forest is assembled and disassembled.,” the fable that took an odd turn, also lacked subtlety, but was at least fun to watch despite its ending. However, “Ocean Filibuster,” dragged on without much luster.
