10 to 21 Jan 2012 (In the Main House)
The Table, Created by Blind Summit. A 2012 London International Mime Festival Production In Association With Soho Theatre. A visual journey that takes in a ballet of disembodied heads, a story told entirely by pictures emerging from a briefcase, and a tiny Moses with a cardboard head full of lonely wisdom. Told with few words, beautiful, three-person operated figures, dark humour and flat pack technology. No man is an island...but sometimes a puppet can be a table.
