Momix - Botanica

Description

The ensemble MOMIX, founded by Moses Pendleton, has been captivating audiences worldwide for over 45 years with its unique blend of dance, illusion, and visual theater, transforming the stage into a world of surreal images, poetic atmosphere, and extraordinary physical creativity. In BOTANICA, bodies, costumes, props, and light merge into an ever-changing landscape inspired by the rhythms and forms of nature. Flowers, insects, branches, sunlight, and the shifting energy of the living world are evoked through a theatrical language that is quirky, sensual, and full of surprises. Rich in imagination and visual impact, BOTANICA offers a captivating experience for a broad audience and invites both newcomers and longtime theatergoers alike into a universe that feels at once dreamlike, organic, and alive.

“We like to work with the alchemy of perception: a way of seeing that transforms the everyday into something elemental. … I am constantly inspired by the energy of the sun, how it shapes a landscape, nourishes a flower, casts a shadow that becomes part of the dance. BOTANICA is not just about creating something beautiful; it is about awakening the senses, reconnecting us with the basic elements of life, and reminding us that we are not separate from nature but shaped by it.” – Moses Pendleton, founder and artistic director of MOMIX
