Her body transformed into a suitcase during a long journey.
The world no longer seems to be as it should.
When thunder and lightning awaken her from her bizarre world and she hears the voice of Fredwart she thinks it’s a declaration of love.
Unfortunately it is not the love of her life, but it turns out to be a good friendship.
She opens herself up to a new world.
Together they write the three biggest hits of their lives, then they disappear from stage.
Even in life’s greatest chaos and greatest grief friendship will guide us safely.
A bright and melancholy clown show, a must-see for all lovers of poetic and clownish stories.
