mimes

Mimes are performers who use gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey stories or emotions without speaking. They rely on physicality and creativity to engage their audience, often using props or imaginary objects to enhance their act. Miming can portray a wide range of themes, from humor to drama, and is often characterized by its visual storytelling. Traditionally, mimes wear distinctive costumes, like black-and-white outfits, and may paint their faces for emphasis. This art form has roots in ancient theater and continues to be a unique and expressive way to communicate universally.
