"Mime throws full
light on man alone in an instant of truth, torn among space, silence,
and time in an attempt to capture love, life, and beauty before the
supreme moment of death. The mime is also one who, after giving
brilliance and significance to attitude and action, throws out the inner
cry of the soul. It is the mime in this dark world who, having sewn up
his mouth and torn out his tongue, has received in exchange the grace of
silence; that is why the mime will remain the true witness of thehuman condition."
-Marcel Marceau
This clip isn't the best quality but I really enjoy it because the scenes are from an older Bip, and as Marceau matured, so did his style.
These scenes feel more poetic than his earlier work that was choreographed for traditional farcical and comedic value.
