Marcel Marceau Tribute

I love these famous quotes from the man who never spoke:

Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?


I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.


In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people.


Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.


Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power.


To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.


What sculptors do is represent the essence of gesture. What is important in mime is attitude.

And my favorite:

It's good to shut up sometimes.
Marcel Marceau

I had the unique pleasure of seeing Marcel perform in person several years ago. He was able to hold the attention of the audience as a solo performer, a difficult thing to do. His performance was nothing less than brilliant. I came away with a profound respect and admiration for this talented artist.

Je n'oublierai jamais!
