Synopsis: “Everything about him was old except his eyes...” was the way that Hemingway described Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea. Out of a 102 year-old face that is as worn as the side of a mountain, Gregorio’s eyes shine brightly. Gregorio was Hemingway’s boat-captain from 1938 until Hemingway’s death in 1961, and provided the template for several Hemingway characters including the old fisherman Santiago. The Old Man and Hemingway chronicles the long friendship between Ernest Hemingway and Gregorio, his boat captain, and the way that forty years after his death, Hemingway is remembered by his friend. With an original Son score by composer Onel Mulet.
