Decroux Café interviews

Decroux Café is een serie van inmiddels 8 interviews van Marijn de Langen met ex-leerlingen van de Franse mimevernieuwer Etienne Decroux (1898-1991). Tijdens een interview van ruim een uur gaan de gasten in gesprek met Marijn over hun herinneringen aan Decroux, hun belichaamde kennis, over mime corporel, over beperkingen en mogelijkheden van deze fysieke techniek, en over het overdragen van kennis aan volgende generaties. Tegen het einde van het gesprek gaan zij in dialoog met studenten van de Mime Opleiding.
Alle interviews zijn gefilmd door Jaqueline van Vught, en geluid werd gedaan door Sandro Ligtenberg (tenzij anders aangegeven). ︎︎︎Decroux Café: legendarische mimers aan het woord, Theaterkant januari 2019




Decroux Café is a series of already 8 interviews by Marijn de Langen with former students of French mime innovator Etienne Decroux (1898-1991). During an interview lasting around an hour, the guests have a conversation with Marijn about their memories of Decroux, their embodied knowledge, about mime corporel, about possibilities and limitations of this technique, and about the transmission of knowledge to future generations. Towards the end of the conversation, they engage in dialogue with fellow mimes and students of the Mime School. All interviews were filmed by Jaqueline van Vught, and sound recorded by Sandro Ligtenberg (unless otherwise indicated).
