What does it mean to live on an island?

Two young European women are sunbathing on a beach in Tenerife when they find the body of an african woman washed up on the shore beside them. Nathing can ever be the same again. We follow Joanne and sabine as they are interweaving stories cross borders and touch the lives of others, wherever they go. We dicscover beauty at the heart of sadness as we joury from the Isle of lewis in Scotland to Aphrodite's Rock in cyprus in search of our island identities.

Four of europeans most outward-looking theatre companies collaborate on a wry and scorching look at contemporary Europe.
