Die Kunst der Stille - Marcel Marceaus Geheimnis

Product Information

Instead of giving us details on his life or skills it apes his singular fascination, digs into what he was interested in and in doing so makes us understand his importance indirectly. Marceau was married three times: first to Huguette Mallet, with whom he had two sons, Michel and Baptiste; then, to Ella Jaroszewicz, with whom he had no children. After the war ended in 1945, he enrolled as a student in Charles Dullin's School of Dramatic Art in the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris, where he studied with teachers such as Joshua Smith and Étienne Decroux [10] and Jean-Louis Barrault.

Marceau was an elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts Berlin, the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France. In 1944 Marcel's father was captured by the Gestapo and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was killed. As a tragicomic clown "Bip", the famous pantomime Marcel Marceau continues to inspire people all over the world.They rescued numerous children from the race laws and concentration camps in the framework of the Jewish Resistance in France, and, after the liberation of Paris, joined the French army. According to Marceau, when he was five years of age, his mother took him to see a Charlie Chaplin film, which entranced him and led him to want to become a mime artist.

Marceau's new total company production Les Contes Fantastiques ( Fantasy Tales) opened to great acclaim at the Théâtre Antoine in Paris. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It was the intellectual minority who knew of him until he first toured the United States in 1955 and 1956, close on the heels of his North American debut at the Stratford Festival of Canada. He inspired several generations of artists, including his grandson and his family, who shed new light on his life’s work.

I used to sneak in and sit in the audience and watch how he would defy the laws of gravity like he was stepping on air. In 1974, he posed for artist Kenneth Hari and worked on paintings and drawings that resulted in a book and artwork in many museum collections.
