Shotaro is a curious schoolboy who embarks on an adventure to find his late father through the stars. His mother, follows behind, sick with worry and determined to bring him safely home. They encounter a kaleidoscope of characters along their journeys, each with their own tales of love, loss, and life's absurdities. Moments of humour and wonder remind us amid the poignancy that even in grief, there’s still plenty of room for joy and laughter.
Our Cosmic Dust is an imaginative and heartfelt tale at the Park Theatre that explores how we find solace in the cosmos and guidance in others – from the wide-eyed perspective of a young child.
This three-time award-winning production makes its English-language debut blending hand-drawn illustrations, intricate puppetry, and inventive video design to create a delightfully unexpected and visually stunning theatrical experience. Our Cosmic Dust was created by Tokyo writer and director Michinari Ozawa and is now translated by British-Japanese theatre maker Susan Momoko Hingley, providing an uplifting and touching exploration of the human spirit.
