“Person lies dead in house for 3 years. Person was not missing.” It is increasingly common for people to go unnoticed for a long time after they die. In 2023, it was five times more common than before the turn of the century. Five times as many people uttering their last words to an empty house. Their bodies too far decomposed to say anything with certainty about their final moments. Exactly this uncertainty is the starting point for KASKO’s new performance.

Paradise Circus Island invites you to lay yourself there, with your cheek on the kitchen floor. With letters piling up in the hall. A body quietly decaying. From summer to winter. From mire to dust. But no one missing you enough to break down the door. What is the life that flows on, while you lie with your cheek on the kitchen floor?

With Paradise Circus Island, we peer through the letterbox. We chat with the neighbours. We listen to the cooker still ticking. The fridge still humming. And finally we break down that front door. Together with six other characters, each living in their own isolation. Each on their own island.
