The life and strange surprising adventures of Robinson Crusoe

An experimental retelling of Robinson Crusoe that challenges the colonial ideology embedded in Daniel Defoe’s popular adventure novel. Starring rising Black artists: musician Oriana Ikomo and deaf actor Bernice Leming.

On an island both beautiful and dangerous, Robinson Crusoe (Ikomo) is a shipwrecked explorer surviving the elements while living in fear of a tribe of cannibals. Abandon the epic you may think you know as we witness a man find solace in mice, religion, and domestic bliss with his man Friday (Leming). This theatrical portrayal rendered with vintage cinematics and a queer lens spins its source material into an absurd comedy.
