TELLUS, DICKSON MBI COMPANY
TELLUS, DICKSON MBI COMPANY

Costume designer.

Drawing from Dickson’s Cameroonian heritage and inspired by Mami Wata, the Goddess of water, TELLUS is an epic story of myth, memory and our connection to the natural world.

TELLUS is a story about our relationship with the Earth - and what happens when that relationship is broken. When a young person finds himself in a village devastated by drought, an encounter with a mysterious Goddess sets him on a journey that is both ancient and deeply personal.
