Our Cosmic Dust
The critically acclaimed production, Our Cosmic Dust, made its international debut in June 2025 at the Park Theatre in London. This Japan-UK joint project, sponsored by our company, appare, was written, directed, and designed by Michinari Ozawa. A winner of three categories at the 31st Yomiuri Theatre Awards (Outstanding Production, Outstanding Director, and Best Actress), the London production was revamped with a UK cast and new artistic direction, based on a translation by Susan Momoko Hingley.
