Theater and circus performance "Suitcases" in Frankfurt 12 September 2025

"Upsala Circus" with Physical Theater's production of "Suitcases," a heartfelt story of what it means to leave your home and start life anew.

About the play:

Three artists with personal migration experiences tell their stories through the language of modern circus and physical theater. Without words, only through movement, acrobatics and live music, the audience will experience the full range of emotions of moving - from loss and longing to hope and acceptance.

Why it matters:

"Suitcases" has been performed in five European countries for more than 1,600 audiences in 2024. The play resonates both with migrants, who see it as their own experience, and with locals, who discover the human dimension of migration.

"Upsala-Circus" is an international team of artists founded in 2000. Based in Germany since 2022. In 20+ years they have created more than 30 productions and toured all over Europe.
