Biography |
"After having studied in Montreal, Paris (with Etienne Decroux), London and Prague, actor/director/teacher Asselin returned to Montreal and founded Mime Omnibus in 1978, a theatre company which blends traditional theatrical styles and axes the productions on a highly focussed aesthetic and stringent dance/movement parameters.
"He and his company have produced some of the country's most ambitious and stylistically difficult works. Asselin's visual lucidity is a precursor to the more multimedia creations of Gilles Maheu and Carbone 14 and Robert Lepage.
"More recently, February, 2000, M. Asselin directed Michael Mackenzie's Farce (Le Making ov) and, in May, 2000, his own Beautés divines" (23 Sept. 2003 qtd. from http://www.canadiantheatre.com/dict.pl?term=Jean%20Asselin). |
