Double Take
Broken Box Mime Theater • Professional company
About the show
Double Take is a wordless physical theatre show created by members of New York City's Broken Box Mime Theater. Silent storytellers guide audiences through a series of dynamic adventures — from a quiet bus stop to the explosive Big Bang, with a cooking show and a lakeside memory in between. Funny, tender and entirely without spoken dialogue, the show celebrates the expressive power of the body and the art of mime. It runs 60 minutes at The Dairy Room and is suitable from age 12.
Why see this show?
A joyful reminder that language is optional when bodies are this expressive. Accessible for all ages from twelve upward, and the wordless format makes it ideal for mixed groups.
