I Totally Recommend Taking A 10-Minute Break, and Watching The Linked Video

The illusionist--one Jerome Murat, apparently a French mimo--totally redefines the territory of Mimesis...

Take a few minutes to luxuriate in the imagination, skill, and mastery of this one, folks.

Merry X-mas...

I saw this a while ago, it is startling. I think he was on French TV up here. People in the U.S. often think of mime as some typically French nuisance, which is understandable, but there's a combination of stuff in this act that goes back (I would think) to mediaeval showmanship.
What's your theoretical exegesis?
Oh, Merry Xmas.

WOW. Saw some good mimes in Paris a few years back but none as amazing as this one. I've watched it twice and haven't figured how he does it. Thanks.
