SwanniSemi-professional company

50 minutesThe Lounge
How to make sense of our silly world? Mapping and naming every pebble we discover, old-timey explorers and modern Wikis alike. Like mapmakers before her, Wiki set out to name weird specks of land, thought, and wonder, albeit with less earnestness. Time for Wiki’s Wengeance. Enter: The Isles of Silly – obscure (is)lands, named after emotions, yoga poses, or the Beatles. Seriously! A journey for every inquisitive soul. A universal show with a personal twist. A glimpse into the mind (map) of Wiki. Random isles of knowledge finally make sense. Or do they?
