Description Join us in a unique theatrical experience: Spare Parts Puppet Theatre's award-winning adaptation of acclaimed illustrator/author Shaun Tan's stunning new story The Arrival. Shaun Tan's fantastical world comes to life in a strange and wonderful metropolis full of floating ships, mysterious lights, alien symbols and weird animals. It is in this new place that our hero Aki makes his home. 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.
