Autour du Mime was created in 1997 by Sara Mangano and Pierre-Yves Massip, both former members of the Marcel Marceau Company and inspired by the work of Etienne Decroux and Jacques Lecoq, as well as by the teachings of Marceau. Autour du Mime explores the art of mime in various contemporary forms over several tableaux, including an award-winning piece. Taking as its starting point a poem by Jacques Pr?vert (writer of one of the most famous films in cinema history, Les Enfants du Paradis) the main work of the evening, Tell Me the Truth (Dis-moi la V?rit?), portrays a couple's dysfunctional relationship, marred by a lack of communication, without words or tender gestures. Both stand their ground and feel themselves in the right. Who is the victim and who is the executioner? This piece was an award-winner at the 2011 BE Festival. This marks their London International Mime Festival debut.. 65 minutes long / no interval. Recommended for ages 12 and over
