XI Edition
Si­lence of the Body/
Mil­czące Ciało
Inter­national Mime Art Thea­tre Presen­tations

During the 11th International Mime Art Theatre Presentations "Silence of the Body / Milczące Ciało" a premiere of the new Mime Art Theatre performance, "The Nest", will take place. The evening will also feature solo Mime Art Theatre performances by Junko Koma and Małgorzata Zdrojek–Toniszewska, as well as a solo performance by this year's special guest, Lina do Carmo. Lina do Carmo presents four solo pieces, either her own or from the repertoire of Marcel Marceau (1923–2007) and Valeska Gert (1892–1978). By invoking these remarkable artists who permeate her predilection as performer and choreographer, Lina encourages us to think about gestures that awake our own bodies, but also about the theme of repetition. In this paradigm, the reinvention of gestures would also be explained—how the title "Palimps Gestures" suggests—as an act of digging the past in order to expose it, and of reusing the flow from the past to the present, to enable the construction of a living memory.
