Immerse yourself in the world of cinema with this exhibition dedicated to Chaplin, a fascinating experience open to all lovers of the seventh art! In the summer of 2024, we will present “The Kid,” the very first feature film by the incomparable Charlie Chaplin, with an exceptional exhibition organized by the City of Cannes and created by Yves Durand, the brilliant mind behind the Chaplin’s World museum park.
“The Kid” – an autobiographical gem that transcends generations, brilliantly blending comedy and emotion in Chaplin’s inimitable work. More than a hundred years after its release, this masterpiece continues to resonate as a heartfelt appeal, a touching statement on the lives of orphaned children, and an extraordinary celebration of the ability to triumph over adversity.
