PANTOMIME Admist the bustling Athenian acropolis of two and a half millenia ago, among the men who created the foundation of the world we know, was born an art form that is to transform the way we see the world - the theatre.

While Socrates spent his days debating the politically-inclined of Ancient Athens, another group of men - the writers - designed equally provokative plays, that asked deep-rooted questions about the world, about humanity.

Then, with equal fervor as the political arena, these questions hit Athenians, in grand amphitheatres, through silent actors, guided by a single narrator.

The hallmark of ancient silent theatre is that they presented the audience with a moral dilemma, without a necessarily right or wrong answer; grey-area debates ensueds, further fueling their thriving democracy.

Fast forward in history, “pantomime� came to symbolize Baroque harlequins, and to the 20th century, where the form of theatre without words is known for a Frenchman dressed in black and white - a mime. Much removed from the serious streak of ancient theatre, these subsequent art forms treaded carefully around controvery, and heeded comic relief.

What about our senses of morality, and spirit of debate - have we stopped asking the grey-area questions?
