Marcel on the Train

East Village

Before he was the world's most famous mime, Marcel Marceau was a 20-year-old Jewish man escorting children across Nazi-occupied France with forged papers and no plan. This world premiere unfolds in a cramped train compartment that turns the theater into a pressure chamber, with Ethan Slater incorporating mime and shadow puppetry into a performance that's as physically demanding as it is emotionally raw.
