Backstage experiences
The company began its China tour on Thursday through Dec 24 and will perform Teatro Delusio in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Xi'an, Shaanxi province, and in Beijing besides other places.
In 2016, the company toured seven Chinese cities for the first time with their production, Hotel Paradiso, which is about a small family-run hotel in the Alps.
In Teatro Delusio, the company features a family of three theater technicians. The family comprises the young and unpredictable Bob; the bossy and tired Bernd and Ivan, who is always hungry and anxious about not losing control.
With masks－beige, oversized and with vast noses－the three actors actually bring more than 20 characters to life onstage in the show, including ballerinas, an opera singer and an entire orchestra.
The British weekly newspaper, The Stage, writing about Teatro Delusio, which was presented at the Edinburgh Festival in 2016, says: "It is revelatory and thrilling in its sense of discovery, and its wide appeal, free from the constraints of language, is bound to please audiences much further afield."
