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.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

Starting from the imaginative world of poets, this performance delves into the dimly lit forest realm, where it explores the vibrant vitality of life within the forest. It uncovers the serenity and mysteries of the sea in a small pebble and the tranquility and blessings in a single leaf, drop of water, or a written word. Each of these, whether a leaf or a drop of water, is a bustling yet tranquil universe, resonating with the ancient secrets and blessings of the ages.

Long time ago, when I was in my Mum’s belly, I had a lot of dreams.
For most of them I’ve forgotten, only this one…
A little girl had found an egg in a Whale’s belly.
She wanted to keep this egg, but was afraid that it would die.
So she decided to look for its mother.
On her journey, she met Seagull Mother, Hippocampus Couple, and Clown fish Couple.
But neither of them were its parents.
While the egg became bigger and bigger.
A Giant was burn from it.He continued to grow up.
And became the Sky, the Earth, and the World…
The little girl woke up, finally.
She decided to say farewell to the Whale.
And looked to her own Birth.
