Monsieur - Karim Slama
«Monsieur» is an internationally recognized mime. An artist adored at the top of his art. However, one evening of performance, the accompanying voice-over evokes a stoic spectator who does not seem to appreciate the performance to its true value. “Monsieur” is struggling to regain the unconditional love of his audience. But nothing comes of it, the doubt invades him and «Sir» is embarked on a spiral of failures which perhaps announces the end of his career.
Without speaking but accompanied by the voice-over of Catherine Guggisberg, Karim Slama makes us live the tragic and burlesque destiny of a character who has never known to be anything but a mime. With the energy and inventiveness that we know him, Karim is having fun and wondering about the struggle of a quirky being who must integrate into a world that is clearly not well suited for him.
