Arrival, The

Synopsis:
This is a big and boldly ambitious show, its full of magic and meaning, the puppetry and sfx will blow your mind. The Arrival is based on Shaun Tan's graphic novel of the same name. The story is timely and relevant, as a migrant flees his homeland in search of a better future. This is an exploration of migration, the strangeness of moving to other lands where everything from the language, food, customs and animals are baffling. There is also the pain of leaving the people you love behind, especially when their safety is in jeopardy. It's poignant, it's full of feeling, and is also often unnerving.

Beyond The Blue

Synopsis:
Beyond the Blue is a journey of self discovery and transformation by women who have dared to push the boundaries of their safe existence. It tells of rebels on the run who have journeyed beyond what they know. Past the places others stopped, past the warning signs and safety nets and into the wild beyond.

Paper Sky: A Love Story

Synopsis:
Henry lives alone. He reads poetry. He writes poems. Then he meets Lumina, who captures his thoughts like the pages of a book. Henry lives alone. He reads poetry. He writes poems and tucks them into different places, his pockets, between books, under furniture. Henry has been on a few dates but they never seem to work out. Then he meets Lumina and he can't quite believe her. How she captures his thoughts like the pages of a book, how she wanders in his mind like letters on the wind. Love illuminates. It makes us bold. It makes us take risks.
