The Island
This is a musical fable about the Robinson Crusoe legend. Here, Robinson is a doctor and unlike the real Crusoe he actively wants to be alone. But his island, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, is being invaded by migrants, NGOs and guards. He saves Friday, the only survivor from a boat of refugees travelling from Africa to Italy. On this island, Robinson encounters the most extraordinary people, and he imaginatively confronts the absurdity of day-to-day life. It's a little like The Little Prince meets Monty Python.
