Tickets for Cicada can be purchased from the Arts Narrogin website. Two shows will take place at the Narrogin Town Hall on Tuesday May 30 at 10am and 1pm followed by a single 10am performance on Wednesday May 31. Shaun Tan makes surrealistic drawings that have been immortalized in books and animated films. “A school group were visiting the exhibition at the same time I was and their enthusiasm for the story was incredible.” Find the latest shows, biography, and artworks for sale by Shaun Tan. “The process that Shaun followed when he made it was to make little models, a little statue of the cicada and little models of office cubicles, and he lit them almost like a theatre production and shot photos that he used as the basis for his painting,” Kerridge said. The production went into development after Kerridge was inspired by an exhibition at the Library of WA on the making of the book. “We’ve had thousands of school children through and they respond so viscerally in their own way but we’ve also had a lot of adults view the work and feel really connected as well.” “Shaun Tan has this ability to cut across all age groups because he thinks really highly of children and the stories that they should be told. “It’s incredible that a book like Cicada can win children’s book of the year and also reduce adults to tears,” Barking Gecko’s artistic director Luke Kerridge said.
