Mummenschanz
Mimes
Monday
What has six legs, twelve arms and hands, and stages the creation
of the world in a brown cloth bag? It’s Mummenschanz, the critically acclaimed mime
and mask show that has just completed a record breaking 1,327 performances on
Broadway. They will bring their masquerades to Moore Auditorium on Monday
evening, November 23 for a performance that begins at 8 p.m.
Mummenschanz began in Switzerland in 1971 as a new kind of theatre experience
created by Andre Bossard, Bernie Schurch, and Floriana Frassetto. They brought their
show to New York City in 1977 for a three week engagement at the Bijou Theatre on
Broadway but ended up staying nearly four years. Mummenschanz is mime, but not the
traditional mime of Marcel Marceau, for example. It is the simplicity of the troupe’s
approach that is the show’s strength. Putting together essentials and absurdity with
simplicity has earned Mummenschanz a reputation for brilliance.
The first act of the performance is the creation of the world. However, it is as if God
appointed a committee for the creation composed of Lewis Carroll, Charlie Chaplin,
Dr. Seuss, Harpo Marx, Renee Magritte, and Marcel Marceau. A large brown bag
begins the show, quivering and rolling to produce several emerging forms of life. These
include a creature that looks like a jellyfish on giraffe legs, a gigantic clam, and an
immense Slinky of an earthworm that bounces a big balloon into the audiences’arms.
The original may have been more prodigious but it was definitely not as entertaining.
The second act concerns relationships, love courtships, vanity, and duels all
emerge from beneath outlandish masks. Consider the “Love Duet of the Toilet Heads,”
which involves a man and a woman whose heads are composed of six rolls of toilet
paper. Sound unromantic? Wait until she runs on-stage streaming two long trails of
pink double ply. For the topper, two male performers try to out-gun each other in a
battle of egos illustrated by sculpturing their faces from gobs of putty, which in their
hands become a gallery of living Picassos.
Critics have been lavish in their praise of the show, which appeals to children as
well as fascinating adults with the company’s superb acrobatic skills and the simple
profundity of their wit. The show is sponsored by the college’s Visiting Artists and
Lecturers Committee. Tickets will be available at the door for $5. Additional
information is available from Robert Kramer, chairman of the Visiting Artists and
Lecturers Committee, 324 Cornwell Hall, 114.
The key play in the drive was a 57 yard
completion from quarterback Barry
Thompson to wingback David Menzer
that set Wofford up on the Lion 8.
The Terriers extended their lead to 10-
0 just before the half when Mr.
Everything David Menzer, connected for
35 yards and a score to tight end Dirk
Derrick off a wingback option pass with
0:54 left before the intermission.
Wofford then slammed the door on the
Lions with 9; 11 to play in the game when
Thompson hit reserve fullback Tim May
with a 9-yard strike to conclude the
scoring.
