From Sesame Street to Broadway, these legendary conjurers of joy and laughter have “been delighting children and their taller companions since 1972,” according to the New York Times. The internationally acclaimed Swiss theater troupe MUMMENSCHANZ will visit Southwest Virginia on their 50th anniversary world tour. For the past half-century, MUMMENSCHANZ has delighted audiences and electrified theaters all over the world. 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 and linguistic barriers and sparks the imagination of the child in all of us.

Celebrating a momentous anniversary, the troupe revisits its history while writing the next chapter in its story of inimitable, visual language. Featuring some of their most popular and successful productions, their 50th Anniversary Tour will take audiences on an imaginative and poetic journey through the infinite – yet familiar – world of imagination conjured by MUMMENSCHANZ.

A fantastic journey through the world of MUMMENSCHANZ promises to be lively, humorous, full of affection and brimming with imagination.
