DUST – a post-apocalyptic puppet opera about life after the global climate catastrophe.
 
 In DUST five fascinating human-sized puppets, a luminescent opera soprano, and a shadowy figure tell the tale of a world gone horribly wrong. A dramatically rendered, contemporary song-cycle imagines what little hope is left after an unavoidable global climate-catastrophe have struck in this sensual and moving puppet-dystopia.
 
 Dust is an exciting hybrid of exellent adult puppetry design, performance and on stage opera. The puppets themselves are the result of many years of developement and exceptionally designed in silicones with realistic skin and faces.
 
 Dust is a fantasy that invites the audiences into a possible future where civilization and human kind have succumbed to it´s own greed and desire. A play that questions and searches for what hope for a new beginning, are left when the lurking environmental catastrophe of the world we live in has happened.
 
 The two characters - The Moon (represented by the female singer) and The Shadow (represented by the male puppeteer) - play a game with puppet characters as a final tool of remembering and reuniting. In a clinging dependence they have witnessed all the atrocities of a mankind flying the final catastrophe.
