Every memory is a gift.
We fold them neatly and place them in a suitcase.
And we take them with us.
When we’re tired, we open the suitcase.
Then we unfold our memories, and find happiness within.

Flying Group Theatre created this new work which features an old, over-sized suitcase symbolizing a richly lived life. The suitcase is filled with treasured memories in the form of scenes of birth, old age,illness and death, which provides constancy for the traveler by protecting his most cherished possessions. Clothing in the suitcase seems to be labeled with fragments of a life, and layer upon layer of items are strung together to form a life’s many circumstances.
