Infinita

FAMILY FLÖZ - Infinita

"All my life I've been afraid of dying, and now this!" - Karl Valentin, 1882-1948

Infinita is a play about the first and last moments in the endgame of life and death. The time when the great miracles happen: the first appearance in the world, the first courageous steps and the first bold fall. Infinita is a physical mosaic of life, simply and virtuously composed, a brief insight into the infinity of birth, sex and death and everything else that is funny. A play with transience, growing old and being born. A production that takes on the becoming and passing of human existences and their converging lifelines in a fast-paced and comedic sequence of scenes. Life itself plays the leading role, its creative power allowing us to fail and triumph.

"With "Infinita", the Berlin workshop theater Familie Flöz presents its audience in the Theaterhaus with a feather-light, enchanting parable of our existence on earth. The greatest secret of the production, whose story sneaks into our hearts in alternating perspectives of shadow plays with real scenes and enchanting music, is the phenomenal effect of the masks. Created by ingenious puppeteers in an absurd distortion of reality, the actors seduce us with their body art into believing that their masks are living faces." - Stuttgarter Nachrichten

"The audience squeals with excitement, stomps its feet and gets up from its seats at the end as if to say thank you for a gift. Theater can be great." - Berliner Zeitung

"Without words and yet so expressive, poignant and yet full of joy, this is a masterful comedy." - The Guardian

"By the end, you'd swear the actors had spoken, laughed and cried. A thrilling theatrical experiment. (...) One of the most unusual theater projects of our time. (...) Familie Flöz tells stories with a wit, a charm, a furor that seems to make people addicted. A work with great poetic power that remains in the memory." - El Mundo
