“A silent medium within a silent medium.” These are the words contemporary master Richard MacDonald uses in describing his world renowned Mime Series. MacDonald’s trademark skill at investing his evocative bronze images with movement and life is never more evident than in his innovative and eloquent mimes. Sometimes enigmatic and most assuredly metaphoric, MacDonald’s engaging performers invite the audience to be its own storyteller. Continuing in the spirit of his classical mimes, Richard MacDonald’s masterwork entitled “Showtime” offers us an experience with whim, movement, and joy. We feel the weight of the mime as he sits on his imaginary stool and we sense his readiness to apply the next stroke of color to his lips.
