"Mime also made its way onto the lineup at Clin d’Oeil.  With their amazing costumes, masks and gothic looking make-up, the Belgian actors teleported us, the audience back to the 1920s Buster Keaton era of silent movies with their story of ‘Monsters’. There were absolutely no talking, lip movements or signing, but the warbling sounds of the live organ music mirrored and followed their every move and emotion. I felt guided by that most of the time too. I do not know if the actors were deaf or hearing but it was wholly irrelevant.  At the end of the 65 minute performance everyone rose to give a standing ovation. "
