mime festival 2019

Macau International Mime Festival 2019

​“Time, Time, Kano’s time” is a highly original, very funny, solo street performance that defies description; completely absurd and yet easy to understand. ​Wearing her trademark blue work jersey, she creates her own precise pantomime universe, with silence and laughter as her only tools. Combining pantomime, music, songs, and silence, Kano Mami strikes that delicate balance between comedy and melancholy that will resonate directly in the hearts of audiences of all ages and from all over the world.

“Le Voisin/The Neighbour” is part of the MIMF 2019 line up and it’s integrated into the series of activities of “Art Macao” events. The protagonist is a crotchety, nerdy, boy-next-door who tries to find love in a dancing singles night, surviving in the wild and fierce nature, while sharing the genuine magic of Christmas time. “Le Voisin” grabs the audience’s attention with the zany twirl of joyful comedy that makes one feel happy! Author, director, and actor Benoît Turjman worked with costume designer Johanna Lavorel and lights designer Maxime Boiteux to bring a unique show to Macau.

Coming all the way from Brazil, award-winning and internationally acclaimed clown and magician, El Diablo is back in Macau with “El Diablo Of The Card 2.0”, an astonishing new show.
