The Hotel performance tells the story of an apparently regular night that actually proves to be crucial for the destinies of two women, inside two rooms of a hotel, in the same time. In a society which lacks solidarity and communication, this non-verbal show presents an hour of the two lives of these solitary persons, as two complementary plans.
