The Anchors and The Sails

“I built something to escape on
Something that could still take me home.”

We are the Anchors and the Sails, moving through time.

We remember our names and also our history.

Centuries after HIMJI sailed here, people from future generations have followed – all in pursuit of an escape from global concerns and everyday troubles.

Destiny has been watching and knows how to help the latest arrivals as they seek sanctuary from hurt and fear. They embark on a new story of self-discovery and future plans, helped along by a boat, a book and bucket of mysteries.

BSL interpreted and captioned. Creative use of audio description is woven into the show.

Created & performed by Graeae Young Company.
