At the threshold of survival, an islet tries to resist solitude. With the last natural resources and the agility of its last inhabitant, this piece of land adapts, transforms and renews itself. A reflection on the pollution of the oceans through the relationship between a man and the environment, on an island where plastic mixes with water. A contemporary circus solo, with juggling, manipulating objects and balances, where space, environment and sound take us on a journey of challenges and surprises. On this small island, set up in unusual spaces, the scenario and the action reflect the fragility of the balance between ecosystems, pollution and climate change.
