Metroccolis is a Berlin based act – electrifying audiences worldwide with one great passion: mime.
For 13 years now, they have been constantly working on this nonverbal art form developing several projects from feature-length theater shows to outdoor installations, from various miniature mime sketches to their very unique robot act – while keeping costumes and stage design to a minimum. Their major focus is the core of mime in which technique and body skills are as crucial as touching stories. Several guest performances around the world show great promise for this way in the future.
Unmistakable with their white faces, white skin and elegant black overalls, the Man Machines from metroccolis showcase a modern and unique performance: living robots float through the space switching their direction and dynamics from high-speed to slow-motion. The crowd wonders whether “human or machine?” and it seems impossible to take the eyes off these charismatic entities. Finally they set up a stage to reveal a nonverbal show full of electrifying dances and bizarre little stories rife with moments of pure mime poetry.
