Designed and directed the puppetry of our main character, Shotaro, a boy who looked at the stars in search for where people go after they pass.
"Puppet Director and Designer Mikayla Teodoro has meticulously crafted a wonderful puppet that embodies the whimsy of The Little Prince and the caring personality of a deeply layered character. It is rare to find a play where every detail is so finely tuned and beautifully arranged to give the greatest impact without being overwhelming."
- Theatre & Tonic
"A touching tale of stars and sorrow, brought to life with stunning puppetry"

"Our Cosmic Dust blends live action, puppetry, animation and screen projections to create a visually arresting and immersive experience. Whilst the core cast are all played by actors, Shotaro is portrayed by a hand-held, lifesize puppet which, surprisingly, gives his character a stronger degree of emotional depth."
