Spadkobiercy slapsticku
A Report from the London Mime Festival

Summary/Abstract: This review begins with a description of the play entitled Sans Object by Compagnie 111/Aurelian Bory, which the author sees as emblematic of the festival’s dominant tendency to create elaborate and showy forms shorn of content. Gauger does describe two plays, however, which break free from this paradigm: Gobo. A Digital Glossary by Akhe Theater from St. Petersburg, who use ordinary objects to create shrewd and multi-layered stage metaphors, Flesh and Blood & Fish and Fowl by Sobelle and Ford – a skillful and intelligent comedy which creatively uses the tradition of American slapstick comedy.
