The Panama Suitcase Show

Jaguars prowl, monkeys howl, and a sea turtle saves a fisherman from drowning in this delightful series of tales inspired by Arm-of-the-Sea’s travels in Central America. The Panama Suitcase Show incorporates a handmade style of visual storytelling to portray kinship ties between animals and humans, and between people living on opposite sides of a border.

Originally developed in Panama for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, the show is designed for young audiences and small venues. It is presented by two performers and runs 45 minutes in length.
