Houdini‘s Suitcase

(Pickled Image)

Visuelles Theater für Zuschauer ab 12

Verrückte Figuren und geniale Objekte, exquisite Lichtregie und eine toller Soundtrack begleiten eine schwarzhumorige Story, die mit einem Minimum an Sprache auskommt.

Houdini’s Suitcase is the brand new adult puppetry show from internationally acclaimed Bristol-based company, Pickled Image. Commissioned and co-produced by Nordland Visual Theatre in Norway; Houdini’s Suitcase has played to sell-out audiences across Scandinavia and Brazil as part of its international tour, and won the People’s Jury Prize at Belo Horizonte Puppet festival this summer.

On top of a towering pile of luggage in a deserted railway station an old man waits and remembers. He is Joshka Malouth, one time apprentice to the great Houdini. The battered suitcases that surround him contain fragments of his extraordinary past. As he opens his bags one by one, a macabre carnival of strange and beautiful characters emerge to tell his story. As the smell of mothballs pervades the air, our hero’s memories blur and change like dust in a breeze… A tale of love and loss, nights at the circus and the mud-soaked trenches of the First World War.
