The Department of Theatre at The Ohio State University, in partnership with Ohio State's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD), are proud to announce the WORLD PREMIERE of There Is No Silence, inspired by the great French mime artist Marcel Marceau. There Is No Silence is a kaleidoscopic fantasia that playfully investigates Marcel Marceau’s history, passions, and significance in a vibrant performance that fuses text with mime, dance with theater, personal reflection with archival truth, and the ridiculous with the transcendent. It will be performed in a richly mediated environment, featuring animation, projection, and live motion capture. The performance will be accompanied by a lobby exhibition of Marceau ephemera.
