A moment of kindness in a sea of unfamiliarity... A long, hard day
at work... A lively party... A nostalgic lullaby... The story
begins in Nigeria where the character of Dele plays a last game of
football with his friends and says goodbye to his son Chidi,
telling him he will send for him. He then embarks on a voyage where
he meets strangers along the way carrying their own stories of
upheaval, struggle and hope - sharing his dream to make their home
in a new city and be joined by their families. Dele's journey melds
with the present day. In an inner-city hostel, Dele is an old man
being looked after by Tian Mey, his carer. He reflects the past and
his journey to where he is now and his story intertwines with the
other migrants, both in his memories of the journey and the
present-day reality of the hostel. 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 migration
story unfolds through an extraordinary weaving together of theatre,
circus and music. The Arrival tells the age-old story of
immigration that is universal across peoples of diverse histories,
countries and cultures.
