Josef Nadj is a master at uniting the worlds of choreography, mime and 
installation art.

Les Philosophes is presented in three acts: an installation of video 
tableaux, a 30-minute film projected onto four panels and a 50-minute live 
performance. With five performers - four philosophers and a central 
father-figure - the piece delves into masculinity and relationships between 
generations. Les Philosophes is inspired by the life and world of Polish 
writer and artist Bruno Schulz, and received the Critics' Grand Prize for 
Dance 2001-2002 from the French Union of Theatre, Music and Dance Critics.

Set inside a specifically designed circular performance space, only 120 
people a night will be able to get close to the creative genius of Josef Nadj.

Presented in association with the London International Mime Festival.
