As Binky begins to contort his body, he creates a series of facial expressions that are so over-the-top, they would likely mortify a true mime. His theatrical performance amidst a crowd not only highlights his personal turmoil but also serves as a captivating spectacle for those witnessing this strange display of physicality and emotion.
