after Federico Fellini's E la nave va
The diva is dead! In her will, she has decreed that her ashes are to be scattered in the middle of the sea on the island where she was born. On the eve of the First World War, a bourgeois community of mourners set off on the luxury steamer Gloria N. to pay their last respects to the best opera singer of all time. On board is the crème de la crème of the opera world. The expedition becomes an odyssey through the open sea with an uncertain outcome.

Fellini's visually stunning masterpiece The Ship of Dreams turns grotesque when a competition between singers takes place in the sweltering boiler room in front of the sweating working class, a blind princess can see the colours of music, the spirit of Edmea Tetua is summoned from the world of the dead, a chicken is hypnotised by a Russian bass-baritone in the kitchen and Italian opera arias are sung to reconcile classes and cultures.
Fellini's cinematic parable is a funeral oratorio for the diva, whose return is longed for in a world marked by capitalism, globalisation, war and a decline in values.
