Read MoreMore Mime Antics
/Today I’m sharing another mime inspired piece, this time a digital painting which I’ve been working on recently.
It features the dynamic and mesmerizing duo otherwise known as Compagnia Baccala (aka Simone Fassari and Camilla Pessifrom) who I met along the Royal Mile during the Edinburgh Festival some years ago.
I had seen their show PssPss which combined childlike wonder and raw feeling, with highly skilled acrobatics and storytelling ingenuity. Their quality of mime paid tribute to the legends of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, whilst bringing something entirely their own to the table.
Do check out their website for more details. I particularly recommend watching the short video below where you can see them in action!
These mime acts completely captivate me, perhaps because of their very silence and how they offer an invitation to the imagination to come and play. They have the power to take you on a journey which touches something deeply human.
Your thoughts…
I will soon be printing some of my digital paintings as high-quality art prints which can be framed and hung on a wall. I am therefore curious to know which subjects you could visualise enjoying in your home.
Could this duo, or perhaps one of your favourite performers, be something that could warm up a wall and get you smiling?
Do let me know in the comments below!
