Le mime Marceau: an Alsatian childhood, music by Jean-René Mourot
An Alsatian childhood. Based on Histoire de ma vie, the memoir of his youth that Marcel Marceau entrusted to his children, this monologue tells the story of the boy born in Strasbourg in 1923: discovering Chaplin, the rise of antisemitism, the Resistance with his brother, then learning theatre in Paris. Between words and gestures, the man behind Bip.
I created the sound design and original music for the show, performed by actor and mime Boutros El Amari.
