Infinita by Familie Flöz

‘Wordless and yet somehow so expressive, full of yearning and yet also filled with joy; this is a splendid and immensely skillful character comedy.’
-  The Guardian, UK
 
Infinita is a comedy and physical/visual mosaic about the first and last moments of life.  The story begins with a group of three young toddlers and ending in a retirement home.  It is about a distinctive vitality, as the old men in their retirement home continue in the spirit of playfulness that defined their youth. The four fabulously masked starring without spoken words, with a very crafty shadows and enchanting music play a game of transience, of being born and of growing old, and a vigorous succession of scenes about the inevitable fate of the human being.

The programme has been toured in 25 countries and was welcomed with great enthusiasm by the audience and critics at the London International Mime Festival 2016.
