Location: Park Theatre

Written and Directed by Michinari Ozawa, Translated and Adapted by Susan Momoko Hingley
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.
📍 Venue Description: Park Theatre delivers world-class theatre
==========================================
The innovative Park Theatre London was created by Artistic Director Jez Bond and Creative Director Melli Bond. The Bonds underwent a six-year search across London for the perfect building that could represent their artistic aims and also their aspirations for inclusivity and diversity. Their efforts would prove successful when they stumbled upon a vacant office block next to Finsbury Park station in 2010.
How Park Theatre came to be
----------------------------
Support from the theatre community played a pivotal part in order for the theatre to thrive. Notable figures who backed the theatre include Alan Rickman and Ian McKellen. Once the press, public and local residents were on board the Bonds were able to raise the necessary funds to convert the abandoned building into the stunning showhouse that it is known to be today. Following a £2.6 million refurbishment, the building, designed by David Hughes Architects, opened in May 2013 to critical acclaim.
