As you are walking, talking with a friend, you enter Marceau Park. Your conversation ceases. As you walk through the park, you can be as reserved or as effusive, as taciturn or as eloquent as you care to be, but you don't say anything.
This park is a place of dynamic, cross-cultural, non-verbal communication
and goodwill. You just leave your language at the gate. You do anything you would do in a park, interact with people, particularly those you normally wouldn't.
As you leave the other side of the park, your conversation resumes as though never interrupted.

Would there be gutters in this park to get your mime out of? |

Help, my [+] is trapped in an invisible box! |

Can't stand mimes, but if a memorial involves burying them, + |

The park could utilise all of the Silent Mic and noise cancelling ideas that have been posted on the bakery, so confused dogs breathily bark at eachother, and frustrated children silently scream for ice cream. |

So THAT's how you turn the microphone on?
Must get out... no... air... |

If there's a really strong wind in Marceau Park, will everyone walk about as if there's no wind? If a tree falls down in Marceau Park will it make a sound? Will Marceau Park contain a Milli Vanilli memorial bandstand? |
