Description The Australian mime company Ent’acte, founded by Elisabeth Burke and Pierre Thibaudeau in 1979, gave a performance last night at The Place as part of the International Mime festival of the programme “Refractions” which clearly established this company as one to be reckoned with, not just in the Australian context but internationally.
All three of the excellent items in the second half showed the same inventiveness and the same combination of abstract geometry, imaginatively designed props and charming human situations which seems to be characteristic of the approach to mime which this company is developing”. Furnau Hall, “Refractions”, The Daily Telegraph, (printed in London & Manchester), January 19, 1985, Entr’acte Archives.
Tom Leabhardt, (Editor, Mime Journal), “…marvellously strong and memorable…..” (referenced in Entr’acte Europe 1985 document. File ETL10). Entr’acte Archives.
