Marcel Marceau in a selection of his pantomimes including 'The Walk Against the Wind', 'The Tightrope Walker', 'The Staircase', 'Adolescence, Maturity, Old Age, and Death' and 'BIP at the Dance Hall'.
Marcel Marceau is one of the greatest exponents of the art of pantomime in the world today. His acute observation of people and situations, usually funny, sometimes sad, but always poetic, is equalled only by the skill with which he interprets the fantastic characters he has created.
