The Nose
Children’s performance from Denmark!
The Nose
A touring company of storytellers has packed their bags and instruments on their donkey and journeyed all the way from Russia determent to present a piece by one of their national writers. MishMash’ second play: ”The Nose”, (”Næsen” / “La Nariz”) is based on the famous short story of the Russian writer Nicolai Vasilievich Gogol. “The Nose” is a crazy and unforgettable story about the proud general Kovalev and his nose that one day decides to leave him and live a life of its own. Using music, acrobatics and character changes quick as a flash the actors show everything from furniture to people and animals on the busy streets of Saint Petersburg. Once again no props or decors are needed. MishMash does it all!
“A simple stage without any set décor made the performance of the actors stand out all the more. These displayed great imagination and admirable dexterity in their use of mime routines and acrobatics, playing tables, horses, mirrors and dogs and switching from one character to another with remarkable skill.”
Irina Echarry / Havana Times, Cuba

MishMash International Theatre Company
MishMash was founded in 2012 in Copenhagen - Denmark by four actors from different countries (Turkey, Sweden and Finland). In recent years, MishMash has become more international with the participation of Danish and Brazilian actors. All actors of MishMash are trained in physical theatre (mask play, storytelling, clown, buffoon, commedia dell'arte, corporal mime etc.) at the international physical theatre school The Commedia School. Apart from this training, the actors of MishMash also have experience in fields like theatre history, dramaturgy, theatre for children, creative writing, circus arts, music, magic etc. Our broad knowledge and rich variety of skills bring us a wide perspective and divers instruments for creating unique theatre. The main artistic approach of MishMash is to discover the theatrical opportunities through physical aspects of acting. We intend to create images and stories through our main instrument, which is our physicality, rather than by the use of décor, props, advance light design etc. We believe movement and improvisation are the base for creations of new and fresh theatre. Since 2013, MishMash toured in Denmark, Sweden, Turkey, Spain, Cuba, Russia, China and Poland.
