We came from dust
The day the power went out, I was late for work.
The day the power went out, I started filming.
The story begins in the not-too-distant future. A solar storm has knocked out power all across the world. As things get tougher in the cities, ten people decide that they will be safer starting over, together, in the woods. For a little while everything is alright, but eventually the idyllic new home and its inhabitants are tested in every way, and each of them must find a way to move forward.
The day the power went out, songs and stories were all we had left.
About the show
The graduating students in Acting, Production Design & Technical Arts, and Set & Costume Design have been working with director Maiko Yamamoto for two years to create this new collective piece.
Largely influenced by speculative future narratives from contemporary culture, along with personal stories and imagery, We came from dust is a deep dive forward in time, set against a backdrop of the mysterious, powerful forests of the Pacific Northwest coast.
Video Design
The video projections in We came from dust play a crucial role in understanding the story, since they bring to life the forrest where all the characters live.
Watch the following video and discover the creative process behind the video design, with Samuel Boucher (Production Design and Technical Arts 3, Paris).
