9 jan > 4 feb 2017 m 2/3 me LONDON Welcome to our 40th anniversary season
Among a host of artists new to the festival, we’re delighted to bring back some of visual theatre’s most admired names in this special year, including French acrobat-genius Mathurin Bolze and Belgium’s Mossoux Bonté with new shows, while German mask-theatre experts Familie Flöz return with Teatro Delusio and there’s a second chance to see Charleroi Danses 2014 sold-out hit, Kiss & Cry.
Elsewhere there’s surrealist Greek glam live art, manga-inspired drama from Italy, and extraordinary object theatre exploring neuroscience, exile, arson and the Shakespeare authorship debate. And much more!
LIMF is the UK’s longest established international theatre festival, its essentially wordless programme cutting edge and defying categorization.
Book early to avoid disappointment!

SMASHED LIMF 40th Anniversary Special Edition
The Peacock Mon 9 > Tue 10 Jan
Smashed is a cult piece that has become a worldwide sensation. Premiered at the National Theatre’s outdoor Watch This Space Festival, it received its first theatre performances at the 2012 Festival and has since been performed more than 500 times across the globe.
A sensational mix of skill and theatricality, Smashed is inspired by the work of seminal dance-theatre maker, Pina Bausch. For the festival’s 40th anniversary this new version has been re-imagined from its original nine to more than twenty performers, with guidance from long- time Pina Bausch leading dancer and choreographer, Dominique Mercy. Featuring some of the world’s greatest jugglers, hundreds of apples and crockery galore, its nostalgic, filmic scenes hint at tense relationships, lost love and the quaintness of afternoon tea. Smashed: Special Edition is provocative, witty, jubilatory and astonishing to see.

WHISPERS UK Premiere
Lilian Baylis Studio Sadler’s Wells Thur 12 > Sat 14 Jan
Sooner or later secrets come into the open. The past is never far away. On stage, a lone woman. Alone, or perhaps not. Whispers unfolds in a place of muffled, disquieting sounds and restless phantoms, where nothing is as it seems. Do strange forces control the figure we see or is she herself responsible for the febrile atmosphere? You will be drawn in to mystery and doubt. Inspired by an image from a Vermeer painting, Whispers portrays an unsettling other world where everything seems ambiguous. Patrick Bonté and Nicole Mossoux’s company works at the crossroads of dance, theatre, shadows and object manipulation. Their award-winning productions have toured to major theatres and festivals worldwide, and have been regular highlights of the Mime Festival over three decades. Conceived, choreographed and performed by Nicole Mossoux “A fascinating work that perfectly evokes the famous Directed by Patrick Bonté and Nicole Mossoux words of the Marquise Marie du Deffand ‘Do I believe Sound effects and sound in ghosts?

Jacksons Lane Mon 16 > Wed 18 Jan & Mon 23 > Wed 25 Jan
Stephen Mottram’s Animata has performed in more than 40 countries. Featuring specially composed music by Sebastian Castagna, these two new pieces fuse artistry with science and demonstrate the magic of puppetry as a story-telling medium.
The Parachute is a funny and mesmerising tale about youth, love and confronting old age. With little more than an armful of white tipped wands, master-puppeteer Stephen Mottram conjures characters from nowhere. He plays with the way our brains make sense of things we see and stealthily reels us into a world of movement and illusion, populated by ephemeral, abstract figures to whom we simply cannot help but be attracted.
Watch the Ball sends us scurrying down neural pathways old and new in a short exploration of the puppeteer’s tricks – visual ideas which suspend your disbelief. Stephen’s previous shows to have been presented at the Mime Festival include The Seed Carriers, The Seas of Organillo and In Suspension.

Shoreditch Town Hall Wed 18 > Fri 20 Jan
To forget is to be unable to remember. It implies the loss of accessibility to a memory. It does not have to mean that the information is lost. Tom is 55 today. As he dresses for his party, tangled threads of disappearing memories spark him into life, unravelling as a tale of friendship, love and guilt. Inspired by the work of theatre director Tadeusz Kantor, recent neurobiological research and interviews with people living with dementia, The Nature of Forgetting is a powerful, haunting and beautiful theatre piece about the inability to recollect a life and what is left when memory is gone…
“There is something, way down deep that’s eternal about every human being... And that’s what’s left when memory is gone” Thornton Wilder - Our Town Theatre Re is a London-based international ensemble creating thought-provoking, tangible and poignant work. Its shows examine fragile human conditions, in a compelling, physical style embracing mime and theatre. Previous productions have toured widely following successful Edinburgh Fringe seasons.

MARZO UK Premiere
Barbican, The Pit Tue 24 > Sat 28 Jan
An impact crater on a distant planet: the scene of ancient hostilities. This is the eerie setting for a manga-influenced, comic strip drama where battle is stylised, almost ritualistic. And yet there is love. Since earliest times, March (Marzo) has been the month of war as the winter fades and spring signals a return to the fray. Protagonists enter the apocalyptic field, twitching and spinning as if in fast-forward mode. There’s a samurai warrior, alien challengers, spirits from the past and something more menacing. Straddling physical theatre and contemporary dance, Marzo has been developed with a wholly original performance style, the uncanny choreography complemented by a discordant, electronic soundtrack and minimal narrative. From Italy, Dewey Dell’s founders - Agata, Demetrio and Teodora Castellucci and Eugenio Resta - have worked in collaboration with Japanese director Kuro Tanino and visual artist Yuichi Yokoyama, whose costumed figures come straight from a graphic novel.

Nordic Puppet 28/29 Ambassadors (Finland) ONLY ONE SUITCASE ALLOWED UK Premiere
Southbank Centre Fri 27 > Sun 29 Jan
Only One Suitcase Allowed is a fusion of object theatre and live installation for one spectator at a time. A peep-show in which visitors peer into secret, miniature worlds; a drama about people who embark on a voyage against their will, not knowing where or how it will end. In the course of a fifteen-minute journey to an unknown destination, a safe and familiar environment suddenly turns hostile. Step by step the world closes its doors and the female traveler is forced ever further from home. Her space in the world becomes smaller and smaller, until finally there is none left.
Inspired by the story of Anne Frank.

ASHES UK Premiere
Jacksons Lane Fri 27 > Sun 29 Jan
Actors, life-size puppets and video projection come together in this gripping piece of visual theatre, inspired by the true events related in best-selling Norwegian novel, Before I Burn. In 1970s Norway, an arsonist targets a small town for one long, terrifying month. As homes are burnt to cinders, panic spreads and neighbours wonder who amongst them could cause such fear and anguish. Years later a young man becomes haunted by the story. Plexus Polaire’s production crackles and burns fiercely, but there is pity and tenderness in this captivating narrative which will stay long in the memory. Norwegian director Yngvild Aspeli studied theatre at the Lecoq School in Paris before attending France’s prestigious international puppetry school ESNAM in Charleville- Mézières. She has worked with puppetry and physical theatre companies in England, France and Norway.
