Saturday, March 12 at 6.30 pm Prakriti Foundation presented the Program "Mummenschanz NEXT" from Switzerland. It was a family entertainer, wordless theater of shapes. Children and adults from centres for hearing impaired were happy to see this show. Venue: Chinmaya Heritage Centre, Chennaii "Mummenschanz
Next" is the latest evolution of the wordless theatrical form that was
invented by the original Mummenschanz trio in 1972. Since that time,
Mummenschanz has continued to devise from everyday materials, the expressive
shapes and fantastic creations that have become its signature. With
a consistent sense of fun and imagination, Mummenschanz has transcended
the barriers of language and nationality to achieve an art form that remains
universal in its appeal.
"Mummenschanz Next" is about figures that can be broken down and built up again, and it combines both organic and geometric elements. John Murphy and Raffaella Mattioli have joined founders Bernie Schürch and Floriana Frassetto for this production, giving Mummenschanz a company of four performers for the first time. |
