A mythic tale about staying connected at the edge of the world.
On a remote Scottish island, Eilidh, its youngest resident, feels torn between two worlds. The mainland holds the promise of opportunity, yet she knows the island traditions that shaped her life are at risk of disappearing. When a mysterious stranger washes ashore, the boundaries of Eilidh’s island life expand in ways she never could have imagined.
Islander sees two performers playing multiple roles, using live vocal looping and layered recording technology to bring the island’s community to life. Every voice and harmony is created live and in the moment, supported by a folk-inspired score.
As island and rural communities are shrinking, humans are drifting further from each other and their environments. Islander offers a modern fable about finding the strength to face the oncoming tide through connection, resilience and belonging.
