Laura Herts est une des rares artistes qui maîtrise l’art du mime et du clown. Son style propre dévoile un monde bien propre à elle pour nous toucher nous
tous. À travers le comique visuel, avec irrévérence elle design ses observations, réflexions sur un monde déshumanisant et machiste. Laura partage sa vision de l’injustice sociale avec lucidité par un humour physique, l’auto dérision et l’esprit Rock n’ Roll.
C’est un hymne à l’Amour par une révoltée.
