Lost In Translation Circus are no stranger to our shores, and in this 60-minute farcical show, we meet the staff of Hotel Paradiso - the best hotel on the Riviera.
As the show starts both the bellhop and maid come around the audience warming us up, and then we are introduced to Carmello, the concierge and owner of the hotel. All seems to be going well, until two hoodlums enter, pretending to be from the bank, and saying that they will foreclose on the hotel if they cannot prove the hotel's worth in 24 hours. And so, it is with this premise that chaos ensues.
The company use physical theatre, acrobatics, balancing, aerial, juggling, and a whole load of silliness to bring their story to fruition. It's all very skin-deep, superficial, and actually not very funny at all... and it seems more sad and tired than anything.
