Quotes
Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words?
Marcel Marceau, CC BY-SA 4.0
I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man’s destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth... I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.

Mime makes the invisible, visible and the visible, invisible.

Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it’s music, not words, that provides power.

Music and silence... combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.
