Description
Adapted from the award-winning graphic novel by Shaun Tan, The Arrival is a universal migrant tale set in a fantastical time and place. A man fl ees his homeland leaving his wife and child, and journeys across vast seas to arrive in a strange, wondrous new world where giant ships fl y through the air and curious creatures abound. There he negotiates dazzling architecture, bizarre foods, strange customs and foreign tongues in his attempt to build a new life. On his travels, the man meets fellow migrants each with their own tale to tell. Like Shaun Tan’s book, this production is a tribute to migrants, refugees and displaced people worldwide. It is ultimately a story of overcoming hardship, of humanity and of hope.
