A traveller arrives at a border with a stack of battered cases. From within them, whole worlds will emerge…
Fresh off a run at the Edinburgh Fringe, award-winning Wellington company, Trick of the Light, is heading home for a tour of Aotearoa, and kicking off with two nights at Te Auaha.
From the makers of The Bookbinder comes an eclectic box set of short stories. Dark, spiky, and comic, each one is told out of a suitcase. The staging is inventive, from lo-fi shadowplay to wireless projection, from dancing disembodied hands to narratives that crackle from a 70s stereo suitcase. Tiny in scale, but expansive in story, it touches on climate change, love and death, travel, and secrets that we carry with us – an overthrown autocrat finds themselves on the run from their own shadow, an astronaut turns their telescope back on earth and back in time.
Trick of the Light is renowned for crafting inventive shows and intricate narratives. Suitcase Show reunites multi-award-winning collaborators Hannah Smith, Ralph McCubbin Howell, Tane Upjohn-Beatson, Rachel Marlow and Bradley Gledhill (Filament 11 Eleven).
