LONDON INTERNATIONAL MIME FESTIVAL

There’s nothing like a fortnight’s worth of contemporary visual theatre to make you say “wow”. Well, actually you shouldn’t say wow at all but rather mime the word “wow”. Or, if you’re feeling creative, explore wow-ness through some cutting-edge circus-theatre, animation, or puppetry. Spread out across the capital’s top stages – the Barbican, ICA, the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Studio Theatre, Southbank Centre and the Roundhouse – this festival attracts mimes from all over the non-verbalised globe.
