Atlas of Remote Islands is a contemporary story of self-discovery through armchair travel on the pages of a mysterious book. This book is an atlas of fifty real, remote islands, stuffed with maps and prose-poem stories, more for the imagination than for navigation and offering more questions than answers. The audience experiences the histories and facts, lore and fantasies of these islands through the eyes of this main character—who in exploring distant worlds through the pages of the atlas unlocks worlds within themself.
