500 years ago Fernando de Magallanes set off to circumnavigate the globe. He succumbed to a poisoned arrow, but his expedition was successful. This historical science-fiction play explores the first recorded round-the-world voyage, and Ferdinand Magellan’s relationship with church, state, his successor Juan Sebastián Elcano, and indigenous people from five continents. During five centuries of confinement, Ferdinand Magellan strikes up dialogues with Shakespeare, stars and stones in his efforts to stay sane. He journeys from human evolution to the present day, forcing us to ask ourselves exactly what the first circumnavigation of the earth has brought to us, five hundred years later.
