Suitcase Show

A traveller arrives at a border with a stack of battered cases. From within them, whole worlds will emerge.

Suitcase Show is an eclectic box set of short stories from multi-award-winning company Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder, Tröll). Dark, spiky and comic, each one is told out of a suitcase.

The tone is mysterious, the staging inventive – from lo-fi light and shadowplay to wireless projection, from a wordless departure lounge dance between two disembodied hands to a narrated story that crackles from an old 70s stereo suitcase. Straight from their season in Edinburgh, come and enjoy this captivating performance by one of New Zealand’s most magical companies.

“Few words are capable of capturing the magic this innovative theatre company brings to the stage.” Wellington Regional News.

“A masterful weaving of stories…Crafty as hell.” - Art Murmurs
