MIME DE RIEN

Patrik Cottet-Moine is a leading figure in the art of mime.

He tours French and international stages with a completely crazy show, full of

subtle and liberating laughter. He is a kind of elastic puppet straight out of

a Tex Avery cartoon and with some resemblance to Mr Bean. He bends and unbends

his lanky physique to mime ordinary situations that turn absurd: a bullfighter

battling a fly, a crazy tennis player, a fisherman grappling with a mischievous

fish, a hypochondriac doctor... A dozen characters come to life, crazy and

offbeat. A true clown, exceptional mime artist and sound effects expert, his

world is as contagious as a fit of laughter and transports the audience out of

time. Gestures speak louder than words, and laughter fills the room. This show,

suitable for all ages and audiences, has been performed on every continent.
