The great mime, Marcel Marceau, retires from the stage

After 50 years career, Marcel Marceau, universally acclaimed as the world's greatest mime, is retiring from the stage in July with a show that will form part of the Athens Festival. But before, when he is about to be 80, he will make a tour of Spain that will bring him to the Auditorium in Palma next Monday, February 24.

The farewell show is called "The best of Marcel Marceau" and offers a two hour trip via the so called pantomimes of style and pantomimes of Bip, the charming character that has accompanied him throughout his mythical career.

Extensive information can be found about Marcel Marceau on the web of the Foundation that bears his name. The tickets to his show can be acquired in the box office of the Auditorium and in Servicaixa.
