Mummenshanz is back!

Mummenshanz has returned to Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Nov. 20-30.

In a time of endless noise from phones, electronics, computers, and a world inundated with technology, the enchanting Mummenshanz returns to New York with its universally loved show.

The internationally celebrated troupe returns with “The Musicians of Silence.” Without any words or music, performers instead use magical objects including a cube, toilet paper, a clay mask, and a white sheet to convey their messages. Through careful actions and poignant movements, the troupe brings creativity and imagination to the stage.

Mummenshanz, Nov. 20 through Nov. 30. Showtimes: Nov. 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, and 29 at 7 pm, and Nov. 22, 23, 28, 30, at 3 pm. Tickets are $49–$85.
