Synopsis
The Arrival is a universal tale of the challenges, the humour and adventures of arriving in a new country and resonates far beyond any arrival… a new school, a new job, a new town.
This adaptation of acclaimed illustrator/author Shaun Tan’s new story ‘The Arrival’ promises to be a truly warm and magical experience for all. It is a mix of digital projection from Shaun Tan’s exquisite images, performance and the excellence in puppetry that you have come to expect from Spare Parts.
The inspirational illustrations of Shaun Tan come to life in a world of animals and people living harmoniously in a fantastical metropolis. This strange new place of floating ships, mysterious lights and symbols is the place our hero Aki makes his home.
The absence of words not only makes the story perfect for puppetry but emphasizes the isolation that is experienced by many people arriving in a new place.
Shaun Tan’s work has an ability to transcend social, cultural and age barriers. The Arrival is a theatre work that will appeal to all and be remembered forever.
This is Shaun Tan and Spare Parts Puppet Theatre at their best.
