Famile Floez: Infinita, Peacock Theatre

If you haven't heard of London's Mime Festival, here's what you need to know: throughout January, London is hosting a range of various performances 'unencumbered with language' including the German masked theatre group, Famile Floez, who enjoyed five star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe this year.
Recommended for emotionally mature children only, their performance of Infinita explores the reality of growing up, with slapstick humour poignant and acute observation to have families giggling and squirming in their seats.
Three feuding kids, squabbling in their cots, are joined by the audience in later life as residents in an old people's home. The churlish nursery games of one-upmanship have barely changed, and the craftiest 'child' still comes out on top all those years later.
This is a moving and funny mime about birth, life and sex, and old age - all without a word spoken.

LIMF recommends this show for ages 7+, but we suggest taking children over the age of 10 as it's set to be a boundary pushing performance.
