  • Familie Flöz is a German-based theatre company that uses humour, masks, improvisation, mime and physical comedy to create family-friendly shows. The company was begun in 1994 by Hajo Schüler and Markus Michalkowski, acting and mime students at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen in the Ruhr Area of Germany, and fellow Michael Vogel joined soon thereafter. Their first production, a comic piece on life on a construction site, premiered at the university in 1994. A few years later, the Familie Flöz performed at the Cologne Comedy Festival and the Kulturbörse Freiburg. Beginning with its second production, Restaurante Immortale, in 1998, the Familie Flöz gave up using language in its works, instead relying on visuals and music. Familie Flöz productions were hits at both the Edinburgh Festival in 2001 and at the London International Mime Festival. The company first selected the name Flöz Production at the Edinburgh Festival, which later became Familie Flöz. According to The Hindu, “The name is from their first play about undergrounders springing out of a hole in the earth, where mines have veins (floz) of gold.″ Familie Flöz has been based in Berlin since 2001. They have performed in 34 countries. All productions are produced in creative collaboration among the troupe's four members, which now consists of Björn Leese, Benjamin Reber and original members Schüler and Vogel. All the troupe's members have jobs outside the theater, as well. Vogel, who serves as the company's director, explained why the Familie Flöz uses masks: “Masks set the imagination free. The viewer can create his own images undistracted by the actor’s facial expressions. The actor can make the experience richer. The mask is fixed. But as an actor I can make it laugh, cry… and make the audience laugh and cry.” (en)
  • Familie Flöz ist eine internationale Gruppe von Theaterschaffenden mit Basis in Berlin. Die Truppe wurde 1996 von Hajo Schüler und Michael Vogel gegründet. Sie ging hervor aus dem Studiengang Pantomime, heute „Physical Theatre“ an der Folkwang-Hochschule in Essen. International bekannt wurde Familie Flöz durch ihre komödiantischen und poetischen, fast immer nonverbalen Theaterstücke mit Masken, die zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhielten. Für das erste Gastspiel beim Edinburgh-Festival 2001 gab sich die Truppe den Namen „Flöz production“, später „Familie Flöz“. Bis heute wurden die Stücke von Familie Flöz in 32 Ländern gezeigt. (de)

  • Familie Flöz, o Familie Floez, è una compagnia di teatro internazionale residente a Berlino. Gli spettacoli che la compagnia realizza e produce prendono vita da un lungo processo introspettivo e collettivo che attraversa differenti discipline teatrali fra le quali il teatro di figura, il teatro di maschera, la danza, la clownerie, l'acrobazia, la magia e l'improvvisazione Nel suo lavoro teatrale la compagnia utilizza un linguaggio del corpo non convenzionale che attraverso l'uso di maschere e travestimenti rivela ciò che è nascosto nell'animo dell'essere umano. La Familie Flöz si avvale di mezzi definiti "antelinguistici" poiché le maschere non hanno solo una forma, ma anche un contenuto, che si sviluppa con la maschera e la recitazione, fino all'atto simbiotico con l'attore come risultato finale. Gli spettacoli della Familie Flöz sono stati rappresentati in 34 nazioni. (it)
