Mummenshanz was a pantomime troupe founded in Switzerland in 1972. They made fantastic use of masks and props, and brought abstract shapes to life with great character.
Wikipedia sez:
The name Mummenschanz is German for “mummery,” or a play involving mummers. Mummer is an Old English term for a mime artist.
I like this video not only for it’s fun, and it’s quick pace, but for the unmistakable character of the actors. One is clearly the nice guy, and the other has a bad attitude and expresses it in the conflict he brings.
