Meet Shotaro, a curious school boy who sets out on an adventure to find his late father among the stars.
Behind him follows his mother, sick with worry and determined to bring him home. Along their journeys, they encounter a kaleidoscope of characters each with their own stories of love, loss, and the absurdities of life. Amid the poignancy, moments of humour and wonder remind us that even in grief, there’s room for laughter and joy.
Our Cosmic Dust is a heartfelt and imaginative tale that explores how we find guidance in others and solace in the cosmos – all seen through the wide-eyed perspective of a child.
Making its English-language debut, this three-time award-winning production blends intricate puppetry, hand-drawn illustrations, and inventive video design to craft a visually stunning and delightfully unexpected theatrical experience. Created by Tokyo writer and director Michinari Ozawa and translated by British-Japanese theatre maker Susan Momoko Hingley, Our Cosmic Dust is a touching and uplifting exploration of the human spirit.
