“> Anyone ever heard of the Swiss dance/mime group Mummenschanz? For the longest time, Mummenchance was one of the biggest searches on this blog…..(among others); now that I am spelling it correctly, I wonder what will happen?

I compared them to a performance art group, the Rinpa Eshidan who do these elaborately painted rooms and record themselves while doing the painting, in the post “Not Since Mummenschanz: Room.”

To visit the real Mummenschanz and I strongly urge you to…on their homepage you can view a clip of your choice of one of their shows, go here. There is a new show, “3 x 11,” which is a 33 year retrospective of their work but you’ll have to go to Switzerland or Israel to see it, at least in 2008; later dates and venues are not yet published.

Mummenschanz is some of the most creative performance art I’ve ever seen……..the Rinpa Eshidan is also quite clever. And I understand “3×11″ does not disappoint.
