About this show
Wordless stories inspire wonder, second glances and reimagined possibilities. Silent storytellers lead audiences from a quiet bus stop to the explosive Big Bang, with a cooking show and a lakeside memory between. Funny, tender and totally original, this piece celebrates the expressive power of the body. With no spoken dialogue, it reveals just how much can be said without saying a thing. From a hit run at Adelaide Fringe, and created by members of NYC's Broken Box Mime Theater, this is visual storytelling at its most inventive. (List).

What the reviewers said
We have captured 1 published review and 33 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Two mimes, seven acts, endless creativity. With expressivity, imagination, and acumen, they guide the audience on a journey from laughter to sighs (or tears, for many of us) and to laughter again.
— Butterwort (5 out of 5 stars)
