Marcel Marceau, the mime, was one of the most striking figures of 20th century European popular iconography. The captivating power of his face and his gestures gripped spectators all over the world. But what hides behind the mute white mask that made him famous? L'Art du silence is a documentary revealing the life and work of a unique artist who once said that "silence is the suspension of the soul that gives us the echo of thought." Let's hear that echo!
The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and was screened at the prestigious HotDocs, Canadian documentary festival.
