The event

The show takes its cue from the story of Adou, an eight-year-old boy from Ivory Coast who in 2015 was found hidden in a suitcase while trying to reach his father in Spain. In the stage version Adou meets Oudà, a genie of the road, who tells him African fables to help him face his fear.

The themes are travel, hope, courage and family reunion.
