Sydney Theatre Company presents this new adaptation of master-storyteller Shaun Tan’s much-loved CICADA, brought to life in a stunning puppet show created by one of Australia’s premier children’s theatre companies – Barking Gecko Theatre.
Cicada spends his days dutifully working away in a grey office. Overlooked by his superiors and overworked by his colleagues, he is getting very close to the end of his tether. But one day, looking out over the city from the rooftop of his office building, Cicada has an epiphany.
