No words will be spoken as four actors from the Berlin-based German theatre company FamilieFlöz, present their latest production, Hotel Paradiso, in India. Started in 1994, the company has travelled to over 34 countries. Instead of dialogues, the company uses humour, masks, improvisation, mime and physical comedy to create family-friendly shows. Their latest offering is the story of a family who runs a hotel. The heavenly name and gorgeous location of Hotel Paradiso promises a relaxing get-away-from-it-all type holiday. However, all is not well in the time-honoured mountain resort kept alive with some difficulty by an old lady and her family. As the story progresses, the Alpine dream soon turns into a nightmare because the squabbling staff struggles to keep its secrets hidden. A corpse turns up causing the hotel’s staff and guests to get mixed up in turmoil of fatal events and the hotel’s decline seems inevitable.
