Houses on the Moon presents HOTEL HAPPY

HOTEL HAPPY takes place at a high-end erotic resort in Bogotá, Colombia, that caters to foreign men. Sofi, a former beauty queen turned sex worker, rescues a displaced donkey named “Chocorramo”. Sofi wants to protect Chocorramo from greedy landowners who will use him for forced labor. She plans a rescue mission with her co-workers Lulu and Candela, and they bring him to the hotel. When three American mercenaries visit the hotel on a special mission, the girls must protect Chocorramo at all costs because, as they will soon discover, he is no ordinary donkey.

A play about sexual tourism in Colombia and that industry’s close connection to the country’s civil war, HOTEL HAPPY explores American-Colombian relationships through a farcical lens, using the power of absurdity to reflect how the decimating effects of war displace us all. This timely and ambitious project boasts a seven-person cast and an eighth character – who happens to be a donkey – played by a life-size puppet!
