The Story of Mummenschanz (Original)
About the Swiss mask theater troupe who perform in a surreal mask- and prop-oriented style. Founded in 1972 by Bernie Schürch, Andres Bossard and the Italian-American Floriana Frassetto, the group became popular for its play with bizarre masks and forms, light and shadow, and their subtle choreography. The name Mummenschanz is German for "mummery," or a play involving mummers. Mummer is an Early Modern English term for a mime artist.
