Known internationally for producing work of
exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, MOMIX’s company
of dancer-illusionists celebrates worlds of surrealistic images using props,
light, shadow, humor and the human body. Under the direction of legendary
choreographer Moses Pendleton, BOTANICA evokes a visual landscape
populated by his whimsical, fertile and mythical imagination.

BOTANICA

imagery and larger-than-life props created by Michael Curry, designer for
Disney’s Broadway musical The Lion King.

With an eclectic score ranging from birdsong
to Vivaldi, BOTANICA reveals nature's changing imagery. An herbal
remedy and natural aphrodisiac, BOTANICA shows off the
endlessly renewable energy of the superb MOMIX performers,
with costumes, projections and custom-made props and puppetry adding an extra
dose of fantasy to the elixir.  

This
is dance at its most organic and inventive.
