Mummenschanz

They do not speak. They do not sing. They do not play music. But they do move and act, to great effect. They are the members of Mummenschanz, the Swiss troupe renowned for the stories it tells with masks, lighting, puppetry, props and objects as ordinary as toilet paper. The company has returned to New York with a limited run of a 70-to-80-minute show that includes both signature bits and brand-new sketches, including a world premiere piece developed just for local theatergoers, both big and little.
