In 2003 Donna and I had the rare privilege of watching Marcel Marceau [1] perform in Melbourne, and so it is very sad to hear that he has passed away today [2], aged 84. This former resistance fighter was a true artiste who could move an entire audience with the smallest of gestures and expressions. He, and his troupe, got a standing ovation that night.
The ABC has a transcript of a wonderful interview [3] that Kerry O’Brien did with him in 2003 during that same tour, it is well worth a read, and ends with this wonderful quote:
The rest, as Hamlet said, is silence.
And I will do for the public this.
If only the video was there to watch what that last mime was..
