SHANDYLAND
World Premiere with Blackboard Theatre at Southwark Playhouse with CASA Festival, Vault Festival, Pleasance Edinburgh, Tobacco Factory Theatres and The Roundhouse. Currently touring internationally.
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 is originated by Miguel, written by Daniel Dingsdale and created in collaboration with artists Diana Garcia, Luke Harcourt, Alex Marshall, Alexander Ferris, Sofi Lee Henson, Angelica Quintero, Andrea Fiquitiva, Caz Coronel and Louise Rhoades-Brown as a vehicle to start an urgent conversation.
