Theatre
Stardust
Blackboard Theatre combine physical theatre, new writing and hand-drawn animation in this irreverent and impassioned journey into the dark heart of cocaine production.
Provoked into action by the painful stigma left by the narco history of his country, Colombian artist and Blackboard founder Miguel Hernando Torres Umba unravels his own and the western world’s responsibility for a trade that kills thousands in his homeland.
Bringing together contrasting stories from a range of Colombian voices, Stardust 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 western world.
Stardust played to sell-out audiences and received rave reviews at Vault Festival and Edinburgh Festival 2018.
May 8-11. 8.15pm, from £12. 70 mins, ages 15+. For more info, visit www.tobaccofactorytheatres.com/shows/stardust
