Stardust
|
Stardust is a “tour-de-force of disciplines” (The List). It is a one man theatre piece that looks into the human cost that the production, distribution and consumption of cocaine has across Latin American communities within their own countries and further afield.
Staged in a traditional “end on” style and combining an impressive set, powerful visual imagery, projections and incredible physicality, Stardust brings together contrasting stories from a range of Colombian voices to tell the story of the chain of events that turns a coca leaf, sacred to indigenous communities in Latin America, into a line of cocaine consumed recreationally in the Western World. Stardust is the recipient of The Peoples Choice Award at Vault Festival 2018, it has been nominated for Best Performance Piece at The Off West End Awards 2020 and enjoyed sold out performances and a multitude of five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Original idea and performance by Miguel Hernando Torres Umba

“Using a mix of animation, movement and monologue, the storytelling is beyond impressive.” “An utterly eye-opening experience.” “An incredibly important piece of theatre… executed brilliantly.” "Theatre can change the world. This is one of those shows." |
