Mummenschanz China Tour 2009
Floriana Frassetto, Mummenschanz has written a new page in the history of theatre. From their first major success at the Avignon Festival 1972, they have been performing in Western and Eastern Europe to North and South America, from Middle East and Africa, to Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Mummenschanz, roughly translated as masquerade, is a world-renowned Swiss theater mime group widely celebrated for its unique brand of spectacular illusions. “Mummenschanz 3×11”, the newest evolution of their wordless theatrical form will be presented for the first time in the major cities around China including Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Hangzhou and Suzhou. A total of 11 incredible shows in 3 weeks of tour. After the successful Chinese tour in 2003 which accompanied the former Swiss President Pascal Couchepin, this extraordinary mime group is promised to conquer again the heart of the Chinese audiences and bring to the country a new expression of theatrical art. Founded in 1972 by Bernie Schürch, Andres Bossard and
Since their first performance, these talented artists have thrilled audiences around the world with spectacular and revolutionary nonverbal theatrical style. In more than three decades, Mummenschanz has created an extraordinary number of well-loved figures and fantasy creatures in the shape of versatile face masks, half-body or whole-body masks and three-dimensional sculptural heads. On the stage, they amazingly turn everyday objects and materials into abstract forms, simple costumes and expressive masks, and engage in a wordless dialogue with the audience. The stories and episodes, filled with humor and imagination, deal with human relationships which can be understood by any audience around the world, across any linguistic and cultural boundaries. The group has collected enthusiastic reviews from the world’s most important magazines and newspapers. The
New York Times stated that they are “for children who think they are adults and for adults who still believe they are children at heart”. David Copperfield, the world’s most famous magician, exclaimed with surprise: “Mummenschanz is indeed the real Magic!” after watching the Mummenschanz performance over 10 consecutive times.
