Four people live on an island in the middle of the Baltic Sea – Hans, Inna, daughter Angela and Karl.

Hans has created a whole world for the family.

Angela only knows what Hans has told her.

Karl knows more than he let on.

But what does Inna keep to herself?

‘The Island of Dreams’ is a music-filled production that takes the audience to an island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, where the thoughts and feelings of the inhabitants turn like north winds. What is it like to grow up in an environment where on one side there is an endless horizon and on the other side there are rules imposed by your father?

Writer Andra Teede has created a text that the director together with the actors adapted and interwoved with Estonian songs.

Maciej Podstawny (POL) started his theatre career at the age of 30, but quickly became a highly respected director and mentor to a new generation of theatre-makers. Podstawny likes to experiment with his actors and create a stage world that is both fantastical and apocalyptic.

Premiere: 12.04.2025 Vaba Lava Narva Theatre Centre.
