An event will involve collegians from across Maharashtra showcasing the oft-neglected art of miming
An Art of Silence performance
The modus operandi they employed was to involve collegians so that they could generate interest from the ground up. And to celebrate the initiative's third anniversary, students from different colleges across Maharashtra will put up nine separate mime acts at a Matunga auditorium.

These performances will include one-act plays, and solo and group performances. But collectively, the actors will pay tribute to Marcel Marceau, a French mime artiste who left even someone of the calibre of Michael Jackson dumbfounded. “He's the one who popularised the art. For instance, he taught us that if you have to express anger, you have to make sure that your body is on fire. You have to perform a loud and powerful action, and express your state of mind through your eyes,” Patil says, putting in a nutshell how different miming is from the art of traditional theatre acting.
