MUMMENSCHANZ, MUSICIANS OF SILENCE
4 SEPTEMBER TO 5 SEPTEMBER
EMIRATES PALACE, ABU DHABI
The celebrated Swiss mask theatre troupe performs in a surreal mask and prop-oriented style of movement. In the surreal, wordless universe of Mummenschanz, everyday objects become fantastical characters, and abstract forms and ordinary shapes interact to reveal timeless truths about human connections and relationships. The troupe creates a playful and uniquely memorable experience through inventive use of forms, shadow and light and creative manipulation of sculptural, expressive masks. The result is visually stunning and transcends cultural barriers.
