Bernie Schurch and Floriana Frassetto, two founding players of the pioneering Swiss performance troupe Mummenschanz talk about their work, which brings to life fantastical forms and creatures made of ordinary objects such as toilet paper, note pads, wires, and boxes. Mummenschanz is performing in New York for the first time since 2003, December 20 through January 8, at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.

Hi. We like this segment on your show. Wondering if there could be a last chanz source to buy tickets for the last show at Skirball (NYU i believe). Its our anniversary and we are spending the weekend in NYC would still like to see the last show. Thanks for your help and great radio show!
