Berlin-based masters of mask theater come to Beijing with a hilarious tale of a family hotel set in an Alpine resort, where they are struggling to keep the business alive and the corpses hidden. Everyone has got a secret to hide. Watch out for the chef with a penchant for human flesh and the kleptomaniac maid, in this cross between Fawlty Towers and the Bates Motel. Check in, though like some of the guests, you may never check out. Familie Fl?z provide 'splendid and immensely skillful character comedy' (Guardian). 'No words! Just applause!' (ThreeWeeks).
