A comedic and irreverent journey where the boundary between reality and imagination dissolves. Two clowns, Jojo and Bulà, with their suitcases, embark on a series of surreal and entertaining adventures. These suitcases, filled with improbable objects (a slipper, rope, toilet paper, and more), become symbols of an inner journey—a path made of challenges, laughter, and mishaps.



The storm, a metaphor for change and the difficulties each of us must face in order to truly grow, forces the two characters to open their “baggage” and confront the consequences of their choices.



Interaction with the audience is the beating heart of the performance. The fourth wall is broken: the audience becomes part of the show, a witness to this journey and an accomplice to the two clowns, who meet, chase each other, and constantly search for the right path—which at times is the same for both, and at times forces them to separate.



They keep setting off, but never truly leave, carrying the weight of a baggage that sometimes feels cumbersome and other times almost insignificant.
