Marcel Marceau, The Quiet Art - Guitou


Depart
assez vu. La vision s'est rencontrée a tous les airs.
Assez eu. Rumeurs des villes, le soir, et au soleil, et toujours.
Assez connu. Les arrêts de la vie.-O rumeurs et visions!
Départ dans l'affection et le bruit neufs!

Departure,
Seen enough.The vision met itself in every kind of air
Had enough. Noises of cities in the evening, in the sunlight, and forever.
Known enough. The haltings of life. Oh! Noises and Visions!
Departure into new affection and sound

Arthur Rimbaud

genial!

perfect tribute to a true great. 84's not bad, not bad at all, but still very sad to accept mortality.

i hadn't seen the bit of him doing the moonwalk with jacko - brilliant.

and the rimbaud as well...

wonderful guitou. will see if i can find something classy enough to contribute to this wake.

Great compilation Guitou, thank you, and terrific quotes from you and Marcela.

Marcela,
Perfect and so appropriate.
this is the profound meaning of Rimbaud's poems, in his own words chilhood is defined as certainty, as a treasure as something pure and exempt from doubt and falsehood.As a poet he was a child expressing himself in the language of a man.
Marceau's modern 'chanson de geste" was a new form of poetic language abling him to express his exitence with the purity of a child.

yes, lovely quotes both

if you look on YT and around you'll find many many of his students producing some fine works

G, so special having this tribute here from a friend of the family, thanks from all the pscenes staff (me)

does anyone want to see M. Marceau's one speaking role? If there's interest I'll put it up...

Unknown said...

mais oui, bien sur, file...

of course there's interest.

i was thinking while watching guitou's clip, the press conference bit, how i had no concept of him speaking...

i've heard him before, but never think of it somehow :)

Marcela,

as if by magic a clip appears

I understand that mimes might be in glass boxes but what I would like to know is who puts them there?
