Non-mime

Non-mime is a contemporary mime movement, process of research occurring in the creations of Vahram Zaryan theatrical group. Transdisciplinary mime performances are created with the artists belonging to different pantomime schools denying the traditional pantomime. The existence of non-mime is resumed in the perception of the main essence of mime, its source and evolvement, in rising questions upon them. Such evolvements have occurred in other fields, as well, radically going further form the traditional ones. No longer concentrating on only the aesthetic and visual material of the body, it is attempted to get rid of it, working on the meaning and depth, in which case the very aesthetic and visual perception to body is back in another form. This situation is perceived more profoundly and vividly, as it includes not only the questions of time and essence unperceivable with the naked eye.[10]
