Lhe first time was in Paris in 1972. The show was entitled evolutionwas born from the encounter between Floriana Frassetto, Andres Bossard and Bernie Schürch: “A theatrical game made of masks, shapes and lights”, capable of astounding and fascinating.
Half a century has passed since then, but the magic continues and 50 Years. Mummenschanz. Les musicians du silence it is the proof.
On a black background, without scenography, without speaking, without music, five actors-mimes-dancers with the help of masks and everyday objects – rolls of toilet paper, pieces of tulle, paper – they give life to characters and small ironic, witty and sometimes poetic sketches from nothing: a feast for the eyes.
