Since its successful three year run on Broadway, Swiss-based theater troupe MUMMENSCHANZ has pioneered a new form of visual theater that has since spawned multiple new genres reclaiming their legacy. MUMMENSCHANZ has been dazzling audiences worldwide for more than 45 years. By creating a playful yet compelling experience through the inventive use of shadow, light, and creative manipulation of objects, MUMMENSCHANZ offers timeless insight on the human condition. The result is a visually stunning spectacle that transcends cultural barriers and sparks the imagination. The 2017-2018 season will see a brand new creation, "you & me," by the visionary MUMMENSCHANZ troupe with new performers bringing to life the large scale masks you've grown to love; as well as reviving a historic tradition of acrobatics. The show will also include some of the classic sketches that have stood the test of time. "you & me" will focus on the love and mutual joy the audiences and performers experience in MUMMENSCHANZ's one of a kind theatrical performances, hence the title "you & me." "'you & me' is the intimacy we go into," said Floriana Frassetto, founder of MUMMENSCHANZ. "I give you my idea and you play with my idea and you make it your idea."Videos
