Mime London Festival 2012
Since 1997, Sara Mangano and Pierre-Yves Massip have been exploring the art of mime and its extended forms of expression such as physical theatre, pantomime or Dramatic Corporeal Mime.
This vision of theatre provides body as the keystone of any dramatic material. Then come music, literature, dance and all the related forms of Live Performing Arts.
Several short plays came out of that work. Each one has a unique style, inspired by the imagination of fables or poetry. These same fables or poems had already offered their own esthetical and dramatic vision to Physical Theatre.
This show has toured in France, Italy, United-Kingdom and the United States.
It has been shown at the Mime London Festival 2012 and has been rewarded "Best performance" at the Birmingham Be Festival in 2011. Moreover, the compagny was part of the three selected at the Best of Be Tour 2011.

But who’s who? As regards suffering, it is not to be denied. Dense and almost palpable, this feeling sweeps into the space and makes it tangible, vibrates to the slightest movement of each character. Time of sentimental break-up reveals the characters’ hidden personality.
Metaphors pile over common reality which, as a leitmotiv, intrudes more and more oppressively to end up like a shower of letters. Is it really over?
