the arrivel teater rio rose

A moving story about being foreign – and about belonging.

What leads a man to put everything behind him, and travel alone to a foreign country where everything is unknown, loneliness overwhelming and the future uncertain?

In Shaun Tan’s graphic novel The Arrival we follow a man, as he escapes to an alien world. In Teater Rio Rose’s beautiful performance, the 449 pages of the book form a poetic film, accompanied by live music composed by the acknowledged Danish musician Thomas Clausen.

An almost whispering tale of belonging.
