“An intense, current and powerful street theatre, which dances above the borders and with our humanity.
Eight people lost in a city each one with a suitcase. Travelers or immigrants? Naive, curious, with emotions under the skin, they do not know the rules, our rules, our lifestyle.
Their game is so sutil that it is confused with the reality.”
