Improvision
Warning
The quality of this video varies due to older technologies and image degradation.
Le Grand Cirque Ordinaire (The Great Ordinary Circus) opens with an allegoric mime show about the birth of Rita. This gradual «improvisation» is taken from a scene of the play T'es pas tannée Jeanne d'Arc, a kind of tragic mirror about an aristocratic family in an underprivileged neighbourhood.
