Bip Hunts Butterflies

Mimes the activity of catching a butterfly--the chase, the anticipation, and the capture; the sheer delight of holding the fluttering wonder; the despair at disturbing the delicate balance of life and death; and the wonderment of recovery and freedom. Opens with comments by Marcel Marceau on the pantomime. Uses musical accompaniment to contribute to the changing moods.
