Hundreds gathered to watch the performance.
, visitors to the Aquatic Park Cove were treated to a view of a not-so-distant future — one in which global water levels have risen dramatically, mutant fish have replaced humans as the dominant species and a few intrepid humans dare to travel on a ramshackle boat performing for whoever happens to gather along the shore., a floating river circus that performed in front of a full beach of spectators.
“My hope is that it’s something other than a variety circus show,” Webley says. “Something that feels light and like a fairy tale, and has whimsy and audience engagement. And in some way kind of nods to the crises of this time without either being didactic or wallowing in them.”Webley, who lives on a houseboat he built on the Snohomish River in Washington, worked as a touring solo musician for 15 years before founding Flotsam. He also designed the boat used in the show.
“It’s all designed to look kind of like an anachronism, like it sits outside of time,” Webley says. “But also needs to be able to be taken apart, loaded up and moved from place to place and reassembled. It’s terrifically inconvenient.” The project began in 2019 with a tour of the Willamette River in Oregon, starting in Corvallis and finishing in Portland. COVID caused the group to cancel a trip to the Ohio River in 2020, then last summer they performed in the Seattle area, where many of the group members are based.
“As a boat, it actually handles surprisingly well. It's pretty nimble. But it's a river boat, so it’s meant to be on relatively flat water,” Webley says. “It’s spooky taking it out where there’s any real chop, which is why we had some help going from the delta to the bay.”
