For nearly five decades, MUMMENSCHANZ has been the epitome of contemporary mask theater worldwide, crossing language barriers and cultures. With no spoken words, purely visually, and completely without music and set design, only with masks and bodies against a black background, the artists appear.

After more than 10 years of creative experimentation and research in all sorts of theaters in Germany and abroad, accompanied by a passionate love of playing, including a 3-year Broadway performance (from 1977 to ‘79), MUMMENSCHANZ crossed the threshold and began to perform for the whole wide world. With a repertoire of over 100 techniques, MUMMENSCHANZ is still a guest on all continents and is still one of the most popular theater attractions in the world.
