Mime Moments is a 1980's one-man mime show created and performed by Chris Goetsch. It explores the development of a non-European mime style to interpret specifically African subjects. To this end it includes a work called Mantis, developed from research done about the Khoisan [1], their physical movement and their nomadic way of life. It includes another work called An African Story, telling the legend about spirits that live underwater and call the individual members of the tribe. The latter is accompanied by music specifically composed for it by Roelof Temmingh.
