MEDIATHEK

"This is the first book tha a mime has ever written on this art. The reader will find collected in this volume the thoughts of Etienne Decroux, who is above all, a man of the theatre: these take the form of lectures that he delivered in Europe and the United States; articles from magazines, unpublishes essays, and notes he prepared for his classes. After he discuss the origins of the art of mime, Decroux shows how it differs from the ancient art of pantomine; he then compares it to dance and to theatre, formulating a doctrine for it, and demonstrating its relevance to actors of any type of theatre."
