The year is 1888. Three intrepid solo adventurers band together to explore Terra Incognita, the last undiscovered bit of the globe. As they navigate cliffs, jungles, and glaciers, encountering various inhabitants along the way, they discover that they are bushwhacking their way through more than mere terrain…
On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a witty, mischievous, surreal exploration of the outer and inner frontiers of the human condition. What is it that calls us to explore the unknown, making it part of ourselves through experience? Why are we drawn on hopefully into the future? How do we map the geography of our own yearning?
