A
fascinating lecture-demonstration tracing the history of mime
from antiquity to the present day. Ivan Bacciocchis engaging
performance explores twenty-five centuries of theatre, from Greece
and Rome to Italian commedia dellarte, from Debureau, Copeau,
Decroux, Barrault and other great names of the 19th and early
20th century European theatre to the heyday of silent movies and
the visual theatre innovators of our own times. Filled with humour
and entertaining insights, the performance takes place in the
intimate and atmospheric setting of the Institut français
library. Written and directed by Théâtre du Mouvement
founder/directors, Claire Heggen and Yves Marc, the performance
will be IN FRENCH. Very limited seating so early booking strongly

Mime
theatre and cinema come together in what is one of almost every
film fans favourite movies. Often rated as one of the greatest
films ever made, Carné and Preverts romantic epic
is set in the Parisian theatre world of the 1840s. But filmed
during the German occupation of Paris a century later, the doubts
and menacing atmosphere of the time seem to colour the swirling
passions and fleeting moments of happiness that enfold its unforgettable
gallery of characters. A timeless classic you will want to see
again and again. With Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur
and Etienne Decroux.
