TOBIAS
The Capitan of the Dolphins
The
Colombian legend of an old fisherman whose wish of becoming a young boy
again, comes true and he lives beneath the ocean as the Capitan of the
Dolphins forever.
Based on “Tobias, El Capitan de los Delfines” by Miguel Angel Perez
This is the story of an old
fisherman who lived in a small village situated on the Colombian coast.
Every morning, Tobias goes fishing. His small and old boat is, each time,
harder to carry through the ocean. Sometimes he caught a lot of fish, but
other times, the dark and strong winds from the North would push him to
the rocks and he could not fish anything.
ACT I

/ Electric Stars
/ Tobias’ Friends
The King of the Ocean
and his Creatures
One of those days when
the ocean and winds were not on his side, he started to complain to the
ocean. The ocean was very mad and all the winds from north and south
started to complain back to Tobias. The waves of the ocean were so big
that Tobias was in danger. The King of the Ocean appears, surrounded by
all ocean creatures and tells Tobias to throw the dice and the one who
gets the higher number will be the winner. If Tobias wins, the Ocean will
grant his wish. If the King of the Ocean wins, Tobias will die.
The giants dices and the
winner is Tobias
Tobias was so frightened
to begin the game but was very relieved when his dice showed a higher
number. Tobias was the winner! (6/5 for the Ocean and 6/6 for Tobias.)
The Ocean gave him one day to think about his wish.
Tobias Wish and dreams
Little Dragon Flies
/ Little bathing children
/ Balloons dream
Tobias could not sleep
that night thinking and thinking, what will be the best wish to ask the
ocean. He remembers always being a very poor fisherman, and when he was a
little boy, he was never like other children. He did not have toys to play
with, he never had time for anything, but work, as a fisherman. Then he
remembers one day, as little boy when he was sick with a very high fever;
he dreamed he was flying high, high in the sky, holding a lot of colorful
balloons over the blue and majestic ocean. The next morning he knew
exactly what to ask the Ocean, he wanted to be a little boy again!
The Ocean
ACT II
Tobias had to prove to
the King of the Ocean that he would be a great little boy. He had to tell
a wonderful story to all the creatures and fish of the ocean. His story
had to be about life on earth. Tobias was so happy about the Ocean’s
request because he was a very good story teller. His story was so good
that all creatures and fish could not stop clapping and admiring Tobias.
The Ocean was so impressed that he decided to give Tobias the title of,
“The Capitan of the Dolphins.” Little Tobias will live beneath the ocean
taking care of all the dolphins. The dolphins will be his best friends for
ever.
Tobias tells stories
about other countries and the life on earth. The ocean creatures and
fishes are fascinated!

/ Argentina / Egypt
The Magical Night
Tobias as a little boy living on the ocean with
his friends The Dolphins
The Ocean is calmed
The water was gold and blue. It was
kissed by the moon. The waves had a beautiful sound of music caressing the
sand. Very slowly the old and poorly boat of Tobias appears full of red
corals and green ocean plants. The moon and stars were illuminating the
body of a small child, dead inside the boat. Nobody knew who this little
fisherman was. It was the body of Tobias as a little boy on earth, but
Tobias was now living in the ocean with all the dolphins as his best
friends forever.
