Mummenschanz Brings Playful Theatre to Annenberg Center for Performing Arts 12/16

Legendary Swiss performance troupe Mummenschanz is coming to the Annenberg Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA for matinee and evening performances from Thursday, December 16 to Saturday, December 18. The performances are part of the troupe's first U.S. tour since 2003. Tickets are $28-48 and the theatre is located at 3680 Walnut Street. 

For nearly four decades, Mummenschanz has captivated audiences worldwide with its groundbreaking and transformative visual theater. The troupe creates a playful and uniquely memorable experience through an inventive use of forms, shadow and light, and inventive manipulation of sculptural, expressive masks.

In the surreal, comic, wordless universe of Mummenschanz, the ordinary becomes extraordinary when common materials and everyday objects--such as wires, tubes, boxes, and even toilet paper--all spring to life as fantastical characters. Abstract shapes and forms also interact in surprising ways to reveal some timeless truths about human connections and relationships. The result is a wonder-filled, visually stunning spectacle and family entertainment that sparks the imagination and transcends cultural barriers.
