Soirée Mime

This project highlights the dialogue between voice, text and music, and allows young singers to deepen their work of interpretation, diction and expression, while discovering the diversity and modernity of the English melody.

The Soirée mime is a stage creation project based on writing on stage and the language of the body. Accompanied by their teacher Florencia Avila, the students explore the expressive possibilities of the gesture and develop their stage presence through the gaze, silence, movement and immobility.

Heir to a long theatrical tradition, mime underwent a profound revival in the twentieth century with artists such as Étienne Decroux and Marcel Marceau. The body then becomes a real storytelling tool: without words, the gesture can tell, give birth to a character or transform the space.

Over the course of creation, students experience the fundamentals of mime posture, gaze, rhythm, precision, stillness, and metamorphosis and learn how to compose a scene and give meaning to movement.

The plateau becomes a space of experimentation where the body tells, suggests and brings out the imaginary. This evening invites you to discover a collective work in creation, where the gesture becomes word and silence, theatrical matter.
