Red Leap Theatre<\/a> from New Zealand will be bringing a new theatre adaptation<\/a> of Shaun Tan<\/a>‘s book The Arrival<\/em> to the Sydney Festival<\/a> in January. I love the look of what I can see in this video of highlights, in particular the aesthetic feel and muted colours, the puppets and the imagery.<\/p>\n

I saw the adaptation of The Arrival<\/em> by Spare Parts Pupppet Theatre<\/a> at the Unima 2008 Puppetry Festival in Fremantle. It has gone on to win a number of awards, and recently had a season at the World Puppetry Festival in Charleville Mezieres, France.\u00a0 I\u00a0felt the strength of that production was in the projected animations and digital imagery, and that the story line and emotional content had been simplified for a very young audience.\u00a0 I hope Red Leap’s production will be able to tap further into the richness and drama that the book holds.<\/p>\n
