MimeLondon, the successor to the long-running London International Mime Festival, is back for its second edition in January.
MimeLondon is a series of theatrical performances highlighting edgy and unusual shows by accomplished mimes, puppeteers, and other creatives. Taking place at multiple venues from 14 January to 2 February 2025, the festival features a number of shows that are sure to take your breath away, including “La Manékine”, a chilling adaptation of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, “Moby Dick”, an epic spectacle based on Herman Melville's great work, “Heka”, a mesmerising juggling show blurring the lines between reality and illusion, and “The Rite of Spring”, a gripping dance-theatre production.
In addition, a number of workshops in East London will be organised within the framework of the festival, tackling subjects such as micro-cinema theatre and circus movement. The festival will also feature “The Last Show”, a documentary film about the 47-year history of the London International Mime Festival, available to watch for free online from 15 January.
