Inspired by a story by Shaun Tan
Enter a world of extraordinary creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes with Hometown, a new puppet musical inspired by a story by Shaun Tan.
Embark on an epic journey through the eyes of a young girl as she faces a life-altering decision: stay with the family who has lovingly raised her, or venture into the unknown to discover a new world and a family she’s yet to meet.
Brought to life by an award-winning creative team in a masterful collaboration with one of Australia’s most successful graphic novelists, Hometown weaves a visually stunning tale about connection, belonging, and the power of love to conquer fear and break down prejudices.
