Mummenschanz: 50 Years

The delightful Swiss mime troupe Mummenschanz visits with a retrospective program celebrating 50 years of wonderfully inventive-and totally silent!-storytelling. The company resurrects mesmerizing larger-than-life creatures and creations from its favorite repertoire, such as the Clay Masks and the Toilet Paper Faces, the delicate air-filled Giants and the Pipe Creature, bringing them to life with its distinctive charm and wit. A visual feast for all ages! “The group has to be seen-and sometimes touched-to be believed. But if you imagine the Muppets heavily influenced by French surrealism and a few psychotropics, you will have some idea” (The New York Times).
