The Arrival

Synopsis/Company

Dele plays a last game of football with his friends, says goodbye to his son and sets off on a voyage to a smog-filled metropolis across the sea. Carrying only a small suitcase he embarks on a journey into the unknown. A moment of kindness in a sea of unfamiliarity... A long day at work... A lively party... A nostalgic lullaby. Based on the illustrated novel by Oscar winner Shaun Tan, one man's tale echoes the many ?arrivals' happening around us all the time. This epic story unfolds through an extraordinary weaving together of theatre, circus and music.
