Werner Strub

Werner Strub was a Swiss mime and actor known for physical theatre and visual comedy. His work relied on movement, gesture, and stage presence rather than spoken dialogue.

Strub was associated with contemporary mime and European physical theatre. His performances used body language, comic timing, and visual staging to communicate ideas.

No. He worked mainly in live theatre and performance, where mime techniques were combined with modern staging and acting. That places him closer to contemporary physical theatre than to silent-film comedy.

He helped show how mime could work as a serious contemporary performance form as well as comedy. His career connected Swiss performance culture with wider European physical-theatre practice.
