Stardust is a powerful one-man performance by Colombian artist Miguel Hernando Torres Umba, first showcased at Southwark Playhouse as part of the CASA Latin American Theatre Festival. The play examines the devastating effects of the global cocaine trade on Colombia, blending stark personal narrative with broader cultural commentary. Through a mix of physical theatre, animation, and movement, Umba weaves together voices from Colombia, exploring the tragic journey of a coca leaf as it transforms into cocaine, a substance deeply entangled in both his homeland’s history and the Western world’s demand for it
