Charlotta Öfverholm is back with a surreal comic tragedy set in a hotel lobby where the deepest secrets will be revealed, where the gods and gurus seek to gain followers and where humanity is in danger. With a language that crosses artistic boundaries with rapid changes between humour and darkness, dance, text and live music.
