The year is 2150.
After the global ban on fossil fuel extraction and distribution was declared in 2046, the “Carbon War” raged for thirty years before the age of fossil fuels finally came to an end.
Now, industries thrive under a new slogan — “Waste = Gold.”
Trash is no longer discarded; it is mined, traded, and valued.
In the waste-filled waters near Point Nemo, an island has quietly formed — a strange land made of civilization’s remains. Here, the discarded and the forgotten have gathered, and life has begun to take root again.
People have arrived from different places and for different reasons:
Climate Refugees in search of a home,
Eco-Linkers restoring lost ecosystems,
and Reverse Miners seeking rare resources from debris.
They coexist — uneasily — on this island called Tukituki.
When fragments of NASA’s lost OSIRIS-REx probe are discovered in the island’s core, new questions arise.
The world’s most powerful resource corporation, CYCLEX, claims ownership and demands the probe’s coordinates.
As tension grows, one question echoes among the people of Tukituki:
If we become a nation, could we find a better way to respond?
The Island at the End is a participatory game theatre that transforms the audience into citizens of Tukituki.
Through card game, collective debate, and negotiation, participants decide the island’s laws, distribute power, and imagine a constitution for a nation that does not yet exist.
