About the storytelling

Join us for a journey across the waves, into the heart of one of the most profound stories ever told.

Through selected excerpts from The Old Man and the Sea, we will follow Santiago — a solitary fisherman — as he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, chasing not just a giant marlin, but a sense of purpose, pride, and communion with the vastness of the sea.

Hemingway’s timeless tale is more than a story of man versus nature. It is a quiet meditation on dignity, resilience, and the invisible threads that tie human beings to the natural world. In the stillness of the sea, in the silence of the struggle, the old man speaks not only to the fish, the birds, and the stars — he speaks to us.

This reading is an invitation to slow down, to listen to the rhythm of the ocean, and to rediscover what it means to endure, to respect, and to belong.
