Double Take weaves together stories that encourage us to look closer, think again and delight in the unexpected. Tasha and Becky bring audiences on a journey from a bus stop to the big bang, passing by a mid-flight superhero and returning to a hometown lake at sunset. It celebrates the capacity of the body and imagination, and reminds us of the power of simple storytelling. Join us on an adventure without a single spoken word. Tasha and Becky are founding members of Broken Box Mime Theater in NYC, which reimagines the art of mime for contemporary audiences.
“★★★★★ Leaves you lighter than when you walked in... Finds depth in the smallest gestures... Consistently impressive, with a level of clarity that makes every moment legible... What DOUBLE TAKE does beautifully is honor the small things... Through precision and shared rhythm it elevates the minutae of everyday life into something quietly theatrical.”
“★★★★★ Broken Box’s show proves contemporary mime is alive eloquent and unexpectedly exhilarating... Both beautiful in its simplicity and rich in its detail... DOUBLE TAKE offers double joy, and a newly found appreciation of the mime artist’s still and deep satisfaction at the tiny detail they can bring to life through movement.”
“★★★★★ A gorgeous piece of art... Encourages you to look closer and delight in the unexpected... The soundscape is perfectly chosen to play with and uplift every emotion... Genuinely unforgettable... It was easy to feel that thread of connection between all of us as Julia and Kristin wove their magic... If you’ve never seen mime before this is where to start... It is beautiful, it is emotional it is funny, and its a quiet reminder that if you look closer, you’ll be able to see more.”
“★★★★ A joy to watch. ”
