After its success last year in Saint-Raphaël, France, the temporary exhibition Charlie Chaplin and Louis de Funès: Movement and Speech is currently at Chaplin’s World until September 1, 2024.
“Movement and Speech” provides a unique opportunity to trace the lives of Chaplin and De Funès and to discover the diversity of their comic talents. The exhibition includes over 300 photographs and archival materials, as well as video extracts from iconic scenes. Visitors will be greeted by wax figures of De Funès, on loan from the Musée Grévin, and of Chaplin, alongside numerous pieces of memorabilia from both artists’ lives. The interactive exhibition is fun for the whole family, and gives visitors a chance to dance along with the artists in some of their most famous scenes.
In June, there will be live music in the park at Chaplin’s World every weekend! See full programme on Chaplin’s World’s website.
CHAPLIN, a new licensed stage play retracing Chaplin’s life story, written in Turkish by Aksel Bonfil and produced by Mert Siliv, premiered on May 27th at Zorlu Performing Arts Center in Istanbul with plans of touring to other venues in Turkey.
Dan Kamin, who trained Robert Downey Jr. for his performance in Chaplin and Johnny Depp for a sequence in Benny and Joon, worked with actor Özgür Daniel Foster for this production.
