The final result of a research process that began in 2011 when Circus Space's second year students were directed in their end-of-year ensemble show by Tamasha's Kristine Landon-Smith, The Arrival is based on a graphic novel by Shaun Tan that relates a wordless story of migration. To get a flavour of the source material you're recommended to take a look at Shaun's site, and particularly to read his own comments on the book, where there's a nice expression of the idea of 'intuitive resonance'.
