Born on 31 July 1930 in Paris, the son of a clock-maker. No one knows why Roger La Borde became a Mime Artist. Whilst some speculate that he may have simply lost his voice, others conclude that he’s never been interested in idle tittle-tattle, especially not with ‘Flatties’ (non-circus people) so he chooses to practice the Art of Silence instead. Whatever his motivations, during his poignant & polished act he accomplishes in less than ten minutes what most novelists struggle to do in their whole lifetime. He lives inside a house of Cards, meticulously stacked on the perimeters of The Lonely Forest. Like his father before him, he also collects Cuckoo Clocks.
