Taro and Hanako is the 2026 end-of-year production, devised and performed by the full-time students of the Corporeal Mime School of Performing Arts.

This original physical theatre work follows the journey of a couple from the moment of their first encounter to the inevitable ending that awaits every human life. Along the way it explores the universal experiences that shape our relationships: the longing to connect, the exhilaration of intimacy, the tensions that erupt into conflict, the pain of separation and the joy of reunion. Through the dynamic interplay of movement and space the multinational cast of nine performers invites the audience to relive their own loves, losses, hopes and memories. “Taro and Hanako” is a show for anyone with a beating heart.
