After a sell-out season at Auckland Arts Festival, Suitcase Show returns to Q Theatre for three nights only this July.
Trick of the Light Theatre present an eclectic box set of short stories. Dark, spiky, and comic, they touch on climate change, love and death, travel, and secrets that we carry with us.
A traveller arrives at a border with a stack of battered cases. From within them, whole worlds will emerge – an overthrown autocrat finds themselves on the run from their own shadow, an astronaut turns their telescope back on earth and back in time... Each story is told out of a suitcase, from lo-fi shadow play to wireless projection, from dancing disembodied hands to narratives that crackle from a 70s stereo suitcase.
Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder, The Griegol) is renowned for crafting inventive shows and intricate narratives. Suitcase Show reunites award-winning collaborators Hannah Smith, Ralph McCubbin Howell, Tane Upjohn-Beatson, Rachel Marlow and Bradley Gledhill (Filament 11 Eleven).
$2.50 per hour to a max of $12.50 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more.
