Within This Dust

Within This Dust by Shaper/Caper explores the events surrounding 9/11 and is inspired by the iconic series of photographs by Richard Drew that capture a man falling from the World Trade Center during the attacks. Within This Dust combines beautiful filmic moments and striking physicality, balancing sumptuous movement with subtle storytelling and animation. It is performed within a backdrop of almost 3000 pieces of white paper that symbolise the lives lost that day.  This critically acclaimed work has toured to Sao Paolo, Berlin and New York City. It had sell-out shows at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and World Trade Centre in New York, and at the Made in Scotland showcase at Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it sold out a 12-night run.

Developed by award winning choreographer and the company’s Artistic Director Thomas Small, this production can be adapted for a variety of spaces, and is accompanied by a small freestanding exhibition.
