Chasing the New White Whale
PROJECT TIMELINE

Scroll through the timeline to learn more about the evolution of the project "Chasing The New White Whale



After all, what was Ahab, but an addict really, and what was Moby Dick but an allusion to opium, and heroin, its contemporary scourge.”  
— M. Gorman

Our Art & Advocacy Model In Action:
Watch a short documentary about a collaborative performance/outreach event in Belfast, Maine.​
"Phantoms" Tell Their Stories On Stage in a Performance of "In Ahab's Head—Chasing Phantoms"
(Watch the full video below).
 “It just connects with the fishing industry and every bit of it is exactly how it is.....How the drugs interplay with fishing, and the lives and the people it destroys. I know, I was in that sad, deep, and dark place for years until I pulled my way out of it. I think of the friends in this industry that I have lost.”
—Response from Robbie Roberge—a commercial fishing captain and recovering addict after attending a performance at Portland’s Fish Exchange (Portland, Maine) 
Watch: Fedallah & The Phantom's. Mike Gorman's Chorus of "invisible" People.
