Only sitting in the presence of his idiosyncratic gestures could you truly understand how absorbing the French comedic mime truly is. He pulls the audience in, in mind and heart and sometimes physicality, to create a dynamic where his performance and yours becomes a shared escapism.
With such boundless enthusiasm and a masterfully skilled spectacle, you can tell the mime has a background involving endless passionately felt hard work. The discovery of his work in a previous role within the world famous ‘Cirque du Soleil’ comes as no real surprise. As does his commitment to spreading compassion and laughter by touring with the humanitarian association for children in crisis affected areas; ‘Clowns Without Borders’.
With unbelievably astute observation skills, impeccable timing and impressive sound effects, you feel a little overwhelmed to be won over so easily by one mans peculiarities and tenderness. Subtle and grandiose gestures, squeeking and roaring sound accompaniments and thoughtfully planned repetoires build a universe so curious and enchanting, it’s hard to think of anywhere you’d rather be.
It’s hard to call a person who requires so much respect a clown. Yet the audience can be in tears of laughter one moment, and shocked with awe the next. Young and old are astounded by his fast-paced tricks and mischief, a completely captivating and joyful experience through and through.
5/5
