About this listen

Deported is a poetic, mythic tale of Keir—a nameless, voiceless man with no passport, no past, and a calm, otherworldly presence. Mistaken for Mexican and deported from the U.S., he becomes a wandering exile, passed through over a hundred nations. In each, he creates beauty—gardens in prisons, hammocks from light, meals from memory—never causing harm, always inspiring quiet transformation.

Authorities can’t identify him. His fingerprints vanish from databases. Blonde hair darkens inexplicably. Still, Keir remains serene. He becomes a whispered legend across detention centers worldwide.

Eventually, a fictional island nation off New Zealand deports him one last time. But a storm sinks the ship, and Keir washes ashore on an uninhabited island. There, he builds Spiral Island—a stateless refuge for the exiled and forgotten.

Spiral becomes a living utopia of shared stories, rituals, and belonging. No flags. No borders. Only song, craft, silence, and care. Its founding document: the Treaty Without Flags.

As Spiral’s influence quietly spreads, former borders soften. Its ideas seep into protests, lullabies, festivals—even U.N. speeches. Keir, never seeking power, fades into legend. The island disappears from maps but echoes in dreams. “He was deported from every country but welcomed by the world.”
