MummenschanzThe Mummenschanz are an experimental Swiss mime troupe that began in the early 70's, are still aound and are totally amazing. My mother used to take me to see them when I was little and I know they have been a huge influence on my perceptions an thought.
When I was little I was just completely entranced by them and watching them now I can see some similaritie between their works and traditional Kabuki theater.
