Hotel Paradiso

Meet Madame and the charming staff of the quirkily ineffective Hotel Paradiso – and their arch enemy the dastardly Banker, who schemes to repossess the hotel. As the tenants introduce us to their beloved home we witness their battle with the Banker. Will they manage to stay open, or will they be forced to move on?

The cast of 6 highly skilled acrobats, clowns and jugglers tell the story of how the tenants battle to save their home and livelihood. Circus favourites Lost in Translation display a colourful mix of daring circus skills, physical comedy and theatre.

Paradiso also features a specially written musical score by Peter Reynolds, renowned circus Musical Director and multi-instrumentalist who has worked extensively with Lit Circus.

Where space allows, the company will provide full structure, set and stage for the full spectacular experience. Both can be accommodated indoors or outdoors and are designed for locations with limited performance infrastructure, space and technical capabilities. The simpler version has a quick turnaround and is easily adaptable.

The site-specific version uses a local house or other building as the set and is ideal for one-off events, regeneration projects and areas with limited performance infrastructure. It’s perfect for reaching new audiences in the heart of disengaged communities.
