A man lugs a suitcase around. Out of it he pulls a one-hour long performance with only a few elements. A rope to dance with. Another masquerading as a snake. 9 Rat traps and an almost animate fish.
Through a combination of circus, dance and object theatre, the audience is led through a minimalistic performance which marries the playful world of the clown with the nightmarish suspense of a horror film.
