Carl Sagan’s Cosmos is not just a book.
To a stage designer, it reads like a cosmic scenography—
a choreography of time, space, silence, and light.
“We are made of star stuff.”
This line feels like the start of a performance.
Not metaphorically, but as a literal transformation:
the audience becomes part of the stage.
Each particle, each beam of light is a role in a grand play.
The cosmic expanse filled with stardust
Reading this line, I imagined a black stage—
a dark void pierced by floating dust.
That single awareness changed the cosmos
from something we observe
to something we participate in.
The movement and texture of a stellar nursery
Cosmos doesn’t talk about space.
It talks through it.
And in that silence, a light begins—
a spark that reflects who we are.
A single light emerging from the darkness
