09/10 audio-description and adapted over-titles

A dystopia written in the throes of the pandemic in 2020 to proclaim the need for theatre, this is the story of the journey taken by a group of friends to the most remote island in the world, Bouvetøya, a piece of floating ice in the middle of nowhere. And a journey that makes no sense yet makes all the sense in the world.

It’s a story about friendship, loyalty and love of theatre that we are reviving six years later to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Lliure, enlisting the audience’s help to launch a message of hope for the future.
