New Block of Tix Available for Mayumana's Be through Sept.

A new block of tickets for Off-Broadway hit Mayumana are now available for performances through Sunday, September 2, 2007. 

A 2007 Drama Desk Award nominee for Unique Theatrical Experience, Mayumana (my-'YOO-muh-nuh) is currently enjoying the American premiere of its newest stage extravaganza Be at Off-Broadway's Union Square Theatre (100 E. 17th St.).

Mayumana opened in New York on Tuesday, March 13, 2007.  "Throughout the past decade, more than four million people have experienced a Mayumana show, and to date, the Mayumana company has performed more than 5,000 shows in more than 30 countries across the globe.  Throughout the last six years, there has been a Mayumana show – usually two or more – performing somewhere in the world almost every evening," state press notes.

"Conceived and directed by Eylon Nuphar and Boaz Berman in Tel Aviv, Mayumana (from the Hebrew meaning skill) is a purely theatrical event that combines elements from various art disciplines based on music, movement, acting, dance and rhythm.  Mayumana is an ever-evolving performance piece that has experienced a constant re-creation in its eleven-year history, giving focus to the individual talents of its evolving roster of cast members, who come to the show from all parts of the globe."
