[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]:
“Pantomime is my life mission, my life destiny.“
Radim Vizvary is one of the best mime artists of the new generation in the Czech Republic.
[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]:
“The cream is applied like this, first horizontally and then to the sides and then on the eyes.“
A mime with a white mask represents classical Pantomime.
[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]:
“It used to take me 30 minutes to put up on the make up, now I can manage it in only ten.“
Radim Vizvary´s journey as a mime artist started 7 years ago.
[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]:
“First I started with the puppet theater. My colleague found my talent for movement and she herself, without telling me, filled in the entry form for the University Department of Pantomime.“
Without any preparation Radim took the talent exam and was accepted. Hard work and patience was his every day bread when he began his studies.
[Radim Vyzvary, Mime Artist]:
“From morning till night I was on the stage training.“
To be able to control every part of a mime´s body requires a lot of hard work, sweat and pain. And the audience can see the results.
[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]
“A white mime on an empty stage. He uses no tools, and yet creates an imaginary world around him.“
A classical mime´s performance is hard to find nowadays.
[Radim Vizvary, Mime Artist]
“In Europe and basically around the world there are not so many of us who perform the classical Pantomime.“
Radim has big plans ahead of him.
[Radim Vyzvary, Mime Artis]
“I am aiming to rescue this treasure which was created and given to us a long time ago“
