Welcome to the 30th London International Mime Festival Jos Houben's brilliant analysis of physical comedy returns by popular demand to open LIMF’s 2008 season of barrier-busting, contemporary visual theatre. There are first UK appearances by young French circus-theatre talents, Collectif Petit Travers and O Ultimo Momento, unusual puppetry and animation theatre from Faulty Optic, Silent Tide and Spain's eye-opening Teatro Corsario. Russia's cutting edge BlackSkyWhite returns with another unnerving sci-fi danse-macabre, Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté brings large scale theatre of images, there's a stunning Woyzeck from Sadari Movement Laboratory of Korea, Pep Bou's multi-coloured universe of music, light and giant soap bubbles, and a fairground of flying objects from Gandini Juggling. Britain's best known mime/clown, Nola Rae, explores the life of Mozart in her inimitable style, and the award-winning Gecko celebrate the brotherhood of two men raised on opposite sides of the Arab-Israeli divide. Hiroaki Umeda's sudden shock waves of movement reflect modern big city chaos whilst B.P.Zoom's routines hark back to the era of classic, silent movie vaudeville. From the Avignon Festival and seasons in Paris and New York, Josef Nadj and Miquel Barcelo quite literally get into art as they disappear beneath ten tons of potter's clay each night in LIMF's most extraordinary show, ever. All this plus special events at Shunt Vaults, workshops, post-show discussions with the artists, and the LIMF08/Total Theatre Lecture by National Theatre Associate Director, Tom Morris. Joseph Seelig and Helen Lannaghan, Directors ANY QUESTIONS? |
