MOMIX

May 20 – 23 New show added due to popular demand - May 23 @ 2 pm! The creator of Lunar Sea, Opus Cactus, Baseball, Orbit, and Passion, brings Botanica – a fantasy land of breathtaking beauty. It’s Avatar on stage as MOMIX transforms the theatre into other worldly beauty, transfixing the audience with their special brand of stage magic. MOMIX combines imaginative athletic dance, riveting music, inventive costumes and spellbinding choreography to create a world of surrealistic images and childlike wonder brought to life by a cast of dancer-illusionists. It’s a brilliant exploration of nature as large scale puppets, projected imagery, and larger-than-life props designed by Michael Curry (The Lion King) evoke a vivid landscape populated by Artistic Director Moses Pendleton’s whimsical, fertile and mythical imagination.
