CAIRO – 11 December 2017: A new mime show, “In the Garden”, by Mustafa Huzayen will be staged at WANAS Center for two successive nights, December 14 and 15.

“In the Garden” is a satirical mime show that reflects the feelings of loneliness from a comedic perspective, combining joy with tears. It was performed once before and received high praise from the audience.

Mustafa Huzayen, Egyptian actor, director and mime performer, has received many awards in different theater and mime festivals in Cairo, such as El Sawy Cultural Wheel Mime Festival.

He founded his own mime company, "Mime Features", and produced many mime performances staged all over Europe and Egypt.

Mime and pantomime, or silent acting, is based on the movement of the body and signs that the actor performs on stage. It includes numerous forms that vary. In India, mime is combined with music and dance.

The inspiration behind mime comes from reality, tackling universal issues in fictional plots. In the postmodern era, mime was presented through masks, black and white face painting, or clothing, inspiring a number of mime crews to promote their stage names, such as “Oreo”, “The Story of the Mask” and “Gray Team”.
