HELMIME Club

Description

The praised HELMIME Mime Club returned in November 2022 after a couple years. We saw several spectacular and delightful performances from national and international mime artists during one evening.

Performers included familiar faces from previous HELMIME Events as well as new acquaintances. The evenings consisted of short mime acts, études, where the audience could dive into the diverse world of mime and where there was no lack of talent or illusions.

HELMIME Club was held at Puppet Theatre Sampo in Helsinki on Fri 18 Nov and at the PAN festival in Liptovský Mikuláš in Slovakia on Sat 26 Nov. Thank you to everyone who participated!
