yes dumb type involves dancers... or movers. i saw them in minneapolis in 
full scale a couple of years ago, and let me tell you it was the most 
impressive submersion I have ever experienced. the quality of the audio, 
especially the decibel level as well as the visual (including the dancers) 
reached out and took hold of me. it was so powerful of an experience I 
couldn't help but feel all the emotions they were suggesting. unbelievable 
for a artistic performance. I don't think anyone has matched or could match 
what they are doing. to the fellow inguiring about going, it is well worth 
the money and time used to be there.
