Keiko is a movie star. He is the whale in the series of films Free Willy. The story of the real Keiko reunites with fiction, and, just like in the movie, he is set free. But his freedom will be his end. His prior domestication hadn't prepared him for life in the wild; he succumbs to pneumonia in December 2003, in Norway. The irony of the situation makes up the show, questioning authenticity, nature and freedom. The performers coach the (amateur) actors during the show, providing for comical situations and further development of the themes.
