There Are No Words….
The London International Mime Festival (LIMF) concluded last night at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room. For the past eighteen days we have been amazed by unique acts of contemporary visual theatre from around the world, performing in great London venues including The Royal Opera House and the new Platform Theatre in King’s Cross.
Founded in 1977, the festival is crammed with creativity, and includes everything from wondrous art-circus to phenomenal puppetry and dark clown theatre.
Our favourites this year were the wonderful Compagnie 111, the extraordinary Gandini Juggling and The entrancing and most magical “Leo” from Circle of Eleven. It’s been the best festival that we can remember, and these breathtaking performances the LIMF have showcased regularly sell out, so for advance notice of next year’s festival, contact MIME London for more information on next year’s event.
