🤡 The art of mime is as old and international as the theater itself. But one artist has created a specific character now inseparable from the city of Paris: the one with white makeup, lipstick and beret that you may (probably not) see performing in front of the Eiffel Tower. This visionary mime, Marcel Marceau was born exactly a century ago, on March 22, 1923, and died in 2007. Let's have a minute of silence in his honor.
