We formulate Fradkin-Vasiliev type theory of massless higher spin fields in AdS 5. The corresponding action functional describes cubic order approximation to gravitational interactions of bosonic mixed-symmetry fields of a particular “hook” symmetry type and totally symmetric bosonic and fermionic fields.
