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 wait for an answer, nervous and impatient. And just when their excitement is about to burst, they hear, softly,
bang, bang, bang.
WOW! Where is that coming from? Did you make that noise?
You’re starting to glow!!!
On a Lonely Island is the new performance by MAN || CO, an adventure celebrating shy, curious, and impulsive explorers (or maybe not-so-tactical ones). It’s a journey full of confidence, doubts, laughter, and a bit of discomfort. And along the way, we try to figure out how to truly be ourselves.
About MAN || CO: A collective of four dancers who create, dance, and produce theatrical dance performances. Constantly inspired by the absurdity of everyday life, our performances are physical, energetic, and theatrical. For audiences with a young heart, or for those who aren’t afraid to let their inner child out. Full of fresh energy, MAN || CO dares to tread off the beaten path in the dance world and is no stranger to performing in exciting locations – from traditional theaters to outdoor spaces.
