On one of Cairo’s deafening streets, young female mime artist Nour Nasr quietly dazzles passers-by with her breathtaking performance that draws smiles on people’s faces and raises awareness about social and cultural issues.
Defying stares, harassment and a police crackdown, Nasr said that she does not mind it. “We love what we do, and we have a message. We seek to revive pantomime as a street art as well as make people happy,” she told Al-Monitor.
