How Chaplin became Tramp…

September 1910. A bar in North London.
A young man in love is late.
A young woman is impatient.
A bartender is about to make his dream come true.
And when fate intervenes and smiles on you…
Some appointments can change lives, others can change history.
How Chaplin became Charlie Chaplin. This is the story of Smile, a play staged entirely in black and white, from the sets to the costumes to the make-up.
Using staging techniques such as slow motion, fast motion, flashbacks and changes of point of view, this play plunges the spectator into the world of Chaplin’s cinema, for the time of a bubble of tenderness and poetry.
