The Arrival Showcase

Part of Alchemy

Friday 20 April 2012 -
Sunday 22 April 2012

The Arrival is a theatre and circus show based on Oscar-winner Shaun Tan's graphic novel, which tells the story of a man who leaves everything behind.

Leaving his family, home, language, work and status, equipped only with the objects he can carry in his suitcase, his intelligence and imagination, he must constantly re-invent himself.

This age-old tale of migration is explored through imagery, multi-lingual narrative, music, choreography and circus arts.

During the Alchemy Festival, you'll be able to get a sneak preview of the show as it will be rehearsed in situ.

Presented by Tamasha in collaboration with Circus Space.

Performances last for 30 minutes and take place at 4.00pm, 6pm and 10pm on Friday and Saturday, and 3.30pm, 5pm and 10pm on Sunday.
