I cannot stop watching this stunning, terrifying short by Carlos Cardona. This mime is only just barely human, more like a preprogrammed automaton than your average subway performer. I still can’t tell if the performance is staged. I mean, could he be an actual busker? If so, what station is that? I have to know. In the meantime, I’ll probably watch this video another 300 times. I’m sure I’ll have nightmares tonight, but it’s worth it. I find the mime’s gentle swiveling as completely mesmerizing as his wide eyes are petrifying.
