ABSTRACT
As implied by its name, Hotel Pro Forma is a theatre company whose point of departure is form and the formal. It is a theatre with no stage, no specific members and no repertory. But it is always in motion. It is the hotel as a stage. A temporary home in that foreign borderland where one is liberated from the pressure of social and psychological questions. The borderland is a displacement which is always off-balance, due to cultural shifts and discontinuities. In such borderlands the individual’s culture, background and history dissolve. What is left is a figure, standing in an unknown context. Hotel Pro Forma is a nomadic stage in a land of possibilities, where one can lose one’s sense of direction, context, social position and identity.
