Three strangers live on a lonely island, but there is no sand, sun or sea! “Hi! I am One.” “Hey, I am the Other.” And then there is the Third. “And who are you?” Silence. One reaches for the Other’s hand. Together they restlessly wait for an answer. Then a soft: “bang, bang, bang”. Where is that coming from? “Did you make that noise?”: mystery! On a lonely island is a hilarious ode to the explorers in the world, an adventure full of confidence, immense doubts, fun and discomfort. We always try to be ourselves, but how does that actually work?
