STARDUST
by Matthew Schmolle Productionsphysical-theatre-and-circus, theatre
An irreverent and impassioned journey into the dark heart of cocaine.
about the production
STARDUST shines an unflinching light on Colombia’s heart of darkness. Mixing together new writing by Immersive Ensemble founder Daniel Dingsdale, physical theatre and hand-drawn animation, Colombian artist Miguel Hernando Torres Umba and Blackboard Theatre bring you an irreverent, entertaining and impassioned investigation into the human cost cocaine production and consumption has in Latin America and further afield. Bringing together contrasting stories from a range of Colombian voices Blackboard tells the story of the chain of lives and deaths that turns a coca leaf, sacred to indigenous communities in Latin America, into a line of coke on a mirror in the west.
about the artist
Blackboard Theatre creates work that responds to current human, social and political issues, aiming to inspire audiences to take further action and provoke social change. The company has particular interest in championing collaboration between British and Latin American artists, with the aim of engaging audiences from both backgrounds and to help bridge the cultural gap that exists between these communities in the UK.
