Why Chaplin? «Beyond his uncanny ability to seamlessly combine comedy and theatrics, I am most inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s ability to incorporate his love and appreciation for the ordinary person into his on-stage persona of a poor, little man with a heart of gold and kind, sad eyes. Chaplin’s Smile is my attempt to illustrate my own admiration for Charlie Chaplin and the wonderful things he stood for.» - Iryna
