Magical Exploding Mime

Magical Exploding Mime is a virtuosic performance of physical theater that transcends the need for speech with an offbeat and existential voice of its own.

In this darkly comedic and completely wordless evening, creator and performer Dean Evans reaches beyond the limits of language to turn the conventions of mime and clown on their heads. Evans morphs through a captivating series of alter egos, fantastical eccentric forces, and disagreeable inanimate objects. From a child with mind control powers, to an amoeba struggling for life, to a cosmonaut cast helplessly adrift in outer space, this unique show presents original narrative with breathtaking precision and feeling. 

"Dean Evans creates a kind of physical comedy and tragedy that's more than physical…. Evans is an original, and [their] work is both startling and satisfying." – The Chicago Reader

"...showstopper piece..." – Newcity

"...ingenious, brain-teasing works..." – The Chicago Reader
