Inspired by a story by Shaun Tan

Feel with your head and think with your heart.

Enter a world of imagination and pure joy with Hometown, a new puppet musical that whisks you away to a magical, dreamlike world inspired by Shaun Tan. Hometown is full of extraordinary creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes.

Embark on an epic journey through the eyes of a young girl, faced with a heart-wrenching dilemma: stay with the family who has nurtured her with love, belonging, and a strong sense of identity, or set out on an adventure 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.
