A man lands on an island. It is apparently uninhabited. But suddenly people appear as if from nowhere. Among them a fascinating woman with whom he immediately falls in love. Again and again he tries to approach her, but she remains absent, unapproachable. Only gradually does he discover their secret. This leads to only one consequence for him: he must follow her into her life. The man fantasizes about a future together and ends up playing the game of his life.
What happens when two people on stage tell a story by Adolfo Bioy Casares? You will be drawn into a strange world of fiction and fantasy. Dialogues that are hoped for in the story turn up unexpectedly. Again and again they try to get closer to each other, to touch each other, to playfully get into contact.
