Interactive multimedia theatre "Home" from Netherlands to stage in August (with photos)
***************************************************************

     The International Arts Carnival (IAC), a summer arts festival organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, will stage the interactive multimedia theatre "Home" by Mime Wave from the Netherlands in August. Combining theatre, animation and music, the programme leads audiences of all ages to explore the true meaning of home in a heartwarming story.
 
     "Home" is inspired by the creator Anastasiia's own journey from Ukraine to the Netherlands. The story revolves around Anastasiia and her dog Djonnik, whose house is carried away by a storm. While searching for a new home, they meet and listen to stories of a number of animal friends, including a giraffe living in a skyscraper and a penguin in an ice house, and eventually discover the true meaning of home. Through engaging storytelling, vibrant animation and gentle music, audiences are encouraged to reflect on home not being about just four walls, but also as an irreplaceable bond in everyone's heart.
 
     The performance schedule is as follows:
 
Date and time: August 9 (Saturday), 2.30pm and 4.30pm

A designated chill-out area outside the theatre will be available for those who need a break.
