Island 1961 (by Erland Cooper & Tove Jansson)

Following on from episode 9 (to sleep to dream) where we found ourselves asking 'why are dystopian narratives so ubiquitous and where are the stories addressing ideas about utopia?'. We've ended up on a small island that was once owned by Tove Jansson. This essay or meditation on what it means to seek out paradise has been beautifully scored by Erland Cooper and we believe, provides a rich and powerful exploration into what it is to imagine paradise.
