Warsaw: The 13th International Mime Art Festival starts on Friday

Warsaw’s Dramatic Theatre [Teatr Dramatyczny] and the Warsaw Mime Centre [Warszawskie Centrum Pantomimy] are presenting the 13th International Mime Art Festival gathering mime theatres from across the world. Lasting from 23 to 31 August 2013, this year’s edition will offer: classical Marcel Marceau mime, physical theatre, modern mime, a show reminiscent of Henryk Tomaszewski’s work in the form of Szatnia directed by Zbigniew Szymczyka (to open the festival), as well as some light and funny miming straight from Ukraine. The festival will also feature a Modern Mime Evening made up of etudes coming to life during the festival to be performed by more than a dozen of artists. Traditionally, the festival will also offer open miming workshops conducted by artists representing different mime schools from across the globe – a perfect opportunity for anybody willing to take a go at this theatrical medium.
