Double Take
Dutch Kills Theater Company & Broken Box Mime Theatre • Professional company
About the show
Double Take is a physical theatre and mime show by Dutch Kills Theater Company and Broken Box Mime Theatre, performed at Playground 1. Tasha and Becky — founding members of Broken Box Mime Theater in New York — take audiences on a wordless journey from a bus stop to the big bang, passing a mid-flight superhero and returning to a hometown lake at sunset. The show celebrates the capacity of the body and imagination, and reminds audiences of the power of simple storytelling without a single spoken word.
Why see this show?
Inventive, joyful and quietly astounding — this is physical storytelling at its most elegant. Tasha and Becky's wordless world is one you step into willingly and don't want to leave.
