“50 Years” is an anniversary stage production by the Swiss visual theatre company Mummenschanz, created to celebrate five decades of their unique, wordless performance art.

Founded in 1972 by Floriana Frassetto, Bernie Schürch, and Andres Bossard, To mark the anniversary, Floriana Frassetto has devised a production that takes the public on a 50-year journey taking a look back at the most popular, most successful productions of years gone by.

On stage come back to life legendary characters such as the Clay Masks and the Toilet Paper Faces.

The show also hosts appearances by the delicate, air-filled Giants, the Pipe Creature and plenty of other bizarre objects and shapes brought to life by and transforming ordinary materials—paper, clay, wire, tubes, and fabric—into poetic, humorous, and often surreal stage characters.

MUMMENSCHANZ This fantastic journey is lively, humorous, full of affection and brimming with imagination.
