(i)land

by Marc Brew Company

dance

Faced with life on a desert island, three characters uncover a means of escape back to civilisation.

about the production

Set on a six ton pile of sand, which provides dance space in which Marc can perform away from his wheelchair, (i)land explores an interesting, imaginary dilemma. Faced with life on a desert island, three characters uncover a means of escape back to civilisation. As the narrative unfolds, the characters find pieces of a vehicle buried in the sand that will take them off the island. They work together to build the craft, only to find that it wont carry all of them.
