	The magic of Mummenschanz (March 14, 2003)
		Such is the playful, inventive handiwork of Mummenschanz, the world-renowned Swiss troupe that deftly blurs the line between mime and puppetry.
		Asked whether Mummenschanz had ever been tempted to incorporate music into its repertoire, Schurch replied that they had experimented with the use of sound, but saw it more as an underlying score, rather than being a true "partner" on stage.
		Mummenschanz may be entering its fourth decade, but the performances are always fresh, Schurch said.

		Yet the Swiss-Italian mime group Mummenschanz did just that with one of its earliest masks, which had functional toilet-paper holders at the appropriate places for eyes, ears, and mouth.
		The members of Mummenschanz improvise not only with movement and ideas, but with material, from which new movements and ideas emerge.
		Perhaps the best-known Mummenschanz masks are the changeable ones, which the trio had originally investigated as stage devices that would allow them to change masks without having to go offstage and interrupt the flow.

		Their influence on modern day theater may be hard to detect, now that it has filtered into the mainstream; the daring premise this troupe embarked upon in 1972, to explore the common ground between mime, dance and puppetry, has been adopted and expanded by progressive performance artists everywhere.
		Founded in Switzerland, Mummenschanz was established by three performers, Bernie Schürch and Andres Bossard, both Swiss, and Floriana Frassetto, an Italian-American.
		From the start, they enforced no rules or style on themselves, leading many critics, even fans, to claim that what they created could not be called mime.
