​

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.

"“Hometown celebrates that innate sense of belonging that is the birthright of every child in the world. But this new Spare Parts Puppet Theatre show also explores the inevitable – and necessary – impulse of every child to look beyond home as they emerge into adulthood. … this company does not falter in delivering the highest standards for children. To that extent, as the show’s refrain goes, “Everything is fine in my hometown.” So, take your favourite child to see it.” ArtsHub
