Guerassim Dichliev

Guerassim Dichliev is a Bulgarian-French mime, director, and teacher who is highly regarded in the world of contemporary European theater. He is best known for his association with corporeal and nonverbal theatre styles.

Dichliev's work is deeply rooted in the European tradition of corporeal mime, a physical discipline famously pioneered by Étienne Decroux. As a teacher and director, he focuses heavily on nonverbal expression and the physical articulation of the body to convey emotion.

Dichliev splits his professional time between France and Bulgaria, frequently leading workshops and masterclasses for actors and mimes. He is heavily involved in the European contemporary theatre scene, working with various institutions to teach nonverbal acting techniques.

Dichliev's style is distinguished by its focus on contemporary European corporeal theatre rather than traditional silent street pantomime. His direction emphasizes physical isolation, precise nonverbal communication, and the dramatic articulation of the human body on stage.
