Hometown is a spellbinding new puppet musical that transports audiences into a world of enchanting creatures and breathtaking landscapes. Inspired by a story by the acclaimed graphic novelist Shaun Tan, this production invites viewers on a profound journey through the eyes of a young girl at a crossroads in her life.

Faced with a heart-wrenching decision, she must choose between staying with the family that has lovingly raised her or embarking on a daring adventure into the unknown to uncover a new world and a family she’s yet to meet. This poignant tale is brought to life by an award-winning creative team in collaboration with Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, Western Australia’s leading puppetry company.

The production features over 20 intricately crafted puppets, designed by Leon Hendroff and fabricated by A Blanck Canvas, whose artistry captures the essence of Shaun Tan’s imaginative storytelling. Hometown weaves together mesmerizing visuals, deeply emotional storytelling, and universal themes of connection, belonging, and the transformative power of love.

This captivating collaboration between Shaun Tan and the visionary team of Hometown is an unmissable experience that speaks to the heart and sparks the imagination.
