PhysFestNYC Presents: Broken Box Mime Theater

Broken Box Mime Theater

Broken Box Mime (BKBX) presents a best-of collection of original short stories told entirely through movement. Set to rich lighting and a heart-thumping soundtrack, our narratives range from realistic to metaphorical, heart-wrenching to hilarious, and cinematic to intimate, held together by a dedication to the empowered imagination and the collective artistic voice of our diverse company. Based in NYC and founded in 2011, we reimagine French pantomime through the lens of contemporary US-American theater. The 20 artists in our company devise the artwork in a highly collaborative process. They are diverse in race, gender, sexual orientation, training, background, mental health identity, and writing style. They come from Jamaica, Switzerland, Argentina, Turkey, New Zealand, NYC, and hometowns across the US.
