What I liked

I loved the interplay between Jordan’s self-recorded sound-effects and his playful reactions. He always has a twinkle in his eye and a surprising comedic bit lurking behind every narrative corner.

What I didn't like

It was only 30min. I wanted more! There is more story to tell.

My overall impression

Jordan Moeller’s WHISPERS ON THE ADRIATIC is a super-funny, absurdist deconstruction of a first-person historical documentary with some of the best silly dancing, sound effects, and faux-dramatic acting opposite a stuffed bird you will see at the festival! Jordan made me care about the fate of a 14th-century Venetian on a doomed maritime voyage to Crete while also cracking me up parodying the tropes of a multi-character solo-show. Jordan is light on his feet, capable of revealing a whole world of emotions and desires in a single look, and totally commanding of the stage.
