Marcel Marceau is a well-known French mime. He is among the most popular representatives of this art form world-wide. In 1947, Marceau created “Bip”, the clown, who in his striped pullover and battered, beflowered silk opera hat.

Marceau performs to spread the “art of silence” (L’art du silence). He first toured the United States in 1955 and 1956; his last world tour covered the United States in 2004 and returned to Europe in 2005 and Australia in 2006. He also had his own one-man show entitled “Meet Marcel Marceau”. He has also shown his versatility in motion pictures such as “First Class”, “Barbarella”, and as himself in Mel Brooks’ “Silent Movie”.

Children have been delighted by Marceau?s “Marcel Marceau Alphabet Book” and the “Marcel Marceau Counting Book”. Other publications of Marceau’s poetry and illustrations include his “La ballade de Paris et du Monde”, which he wrote in 1966, and “The Story of Bip”, written and illustrated by Marceau. In 2001, a new photo book for children titled “Bip in a Book”, appeared in the bookstores in the US, France and Australia.
