Vaudevillian Mime Artist
         Mikael Rudolph

                  (612) 302-9252               (e-mail Mikael)
   
In "Swim Home" Mikael shares the contents of his suitcase and through them his story in a high-paced and hilarious, yet touching non-verbal Vaudevillian physical comedy show.

    Audiences around the nation and world have delighted in his warmly interactive, vigorously animated one-man show reminiscent of European street cabaret and silent film.

    Each performance features beautiful classical mime and astounding magic, charming mask and puppet characters and plenty of audience interaction!

"In this style...he is a master. Absolutely. It could not have been done any better."

~ Marcel Marceau
