We are in this theatrical spectacle somewhere in the deep south of the USA, in an all-red hotel lobby with a reception desk and two elevators. Betty, the receptionist, is busy typing when Danny appears with a silver briefcase on his wrist. At the same time, Violet is sitting in the lounge, sipping the drink of the month, an eggnog cocktail, while breastfeeding her baby daughter. The afternoon in the lobby becomes increasingly confused and the blood flows in dirty streams as dreams, hallucinations and bodies merge into questions of life and death.
“A disturbing yet tender tale of love and cannibalism.”
The New York Times
Content Information: Fake blood, body horror, simulated breastfeeding, artificial embryos, fake wounds and amputations, sudden noise and horror.
Duration: approx. 85 min.

Biografie
The Norwegian theatre company Susie Wang was formed in 2017 by writer and director Trine Falch, composer and sound designer Martin Langlie, actor Mona Solhaug and set designer Bo Krister Wallström.
Having worked in a conceptual performing arts field for many years, embracing everything authentic and real, they became increasingly curious about the theatrical un-real and as Susie Wang they now make theatre with characters and plots.
Or as they say: Susie Wang was brought up with a shattered world view, and instead of keeping on reflecting the world in fragments, we have started to pick up the pieces and put them together as dramatic storylines.
