Project Description
Arrival: Stories, Mask & Movement was a theatre presentation based on five new immigrant stories of arrival. Real-life immigrant stories of what it has meant to settle in a new land, a country with a different language and culture. Stories of new and surprising experiences, stories of hope and triumph, stories of challenge and surmounting obstacles, stories of new beginnings. The five stories represent the five continents of the world and were woven into a performance using movement, music and masks inspired by traditions from the countries where the stories originate.
