“That’s marvelous,” Carson said after watching one Mummenschanz routine, in which a pair of black-clad performers — with white paper tablets for their eyes and mouths — run through a gamut of emotions, flipping the paper pages to reveal drawings illustrating everything from irritation to infatuation.

I would love to experience this performance. Not only do mimes fascinate me but I think their idea of abstract theatre is super intriguing. These performance don't include anything except for the actor(s) and maybe a few props. The imaginations of the audience would run wild. I'm so used to watching the stereotypical mime movements from the ingenious Chaplin, but to experience the mimes of today would be a great adventure. The way this article describes it makes it seem as though miming has advances for the better. I hope in the future, if I ever experience this performance, that I will be able to grasp the wonderful intimacy this described in the article.
