What Is Pantomime?
Mime Demo "at the bus stop"
The video above is one of the examples of pantomime. So, what is pantomime?
Wikipedia says that pantomime is a musical-comedy theatrical production traditionally found in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, South Africa, India, Ireland, Gibraltar and Malta, and is mostly performed during the Christmas and New Year season. But nowadays, it becomes more than only musical-comedy theaterical. It can be showed as tragic, romance, or even religious drama.
Based on what I learned, pantomime is a kind of arts that tells story by only gestures (body movements) and expressions. No words!
