Grammatica del mimo

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Theatre, mime
Thanks :).
Lo scopo è realizzare una trasposizione artistica che segue la grammatica del mimo corporeo astratto di Decroux: attraverso movimenti che non riproducono la quotidianità, ma la evocano per raggiungerne l'essenza, e mediante l'utilizzo del corpo i performer esprimono una riflessione critica su uno dei temi più caldi della società attuale.

The aim is to provide an artistic transposition that follows the grammar of Decroux's abstract body mime: through movements that do not reproduce everyday life, but evoke it to reach their essence, and by the use of the body the performer expresses a critical reflection on one of the most burning issues in society today.

neutral Michael Korovkin : I thought the art form was pantomime(the art of miming),and the artist was a mime.Indeed,I do meet defintions of mime as an art form but,at least in my non-enlightened mind,put it together with "a meet","a speak","a think" e altre americanate del genere

Language of mime

This sounds a bit more "English" than a literal translation would to me.

"The art of telling a story or describing an emotion without the use of words: the expression of action and feeling through gesture, movement, and facial expression. Classical ballet evolved its own specific LANGUAGE OF MIME, with a set vocabulary for familiar narrative components: the declaration of love, the desire to marry, the description of female beauty, etc..."

Example sentence:

"The 13th edition of our Festival was a continuation of searching for diversity of the LANGUAGE OF MIME theatre."

"He urged me (because of mime's Greek origin*, and mine also!) to create my own LANGUAGE OF MIME. I managed to do this, when I finally felt more mature as a theatrical actress of prose. "
