Biography
The son of a traveling circus artist, cable dancer Philippe Deburo and the Czech servant Katerina Kralova. In 1811, his family settled in Paris. After another 5 years, Baptiste, along with his brother Franz, became an actor in the Funambul Theater on Boulevard du Temple . In 1819 he with great success played the role of Pierrot in the pantomime " Harlequin- Lekar". He developed the traditions of comedy del arte . He was buried in the Pere Lachaise cemetery .
Mime and the successor of the traditions was the son of Batista - Charles Deburo (1829-1873). Chaplin and Marceau were often compared with both Debuts.
Reflections in Literature and Art
- Books about the Deburo appeared already during his lifetime, one of them was written by Jules Janin (1832).
- Later, Shanfleri (1859) wrote about the Deburo and the Funambul Theater, for which the Deburo was an example of folk art opposing the art of aristocrats.
- The play " Deburo " (1918) was written by Sasha Guitry , later he shot the film of the same name (1951).
- In 1938, the film about the Deburo, “ Dance on the Volcano, ” was directed by German film director Hans Steinhoff ( Gustaf Grundens as the Deburo).
- The life of the mime formed the basis of one of the most famous masterpieces of French cinema - the film by Marcel Carne's “ Children of Paradise ” (1945, according to the script of J. Prever , in the role of the mime of Jean-Louis Barrot ).
