Artiste: Moses Pendleton

Occupying a unique niche in the dance world, MOMIX brought Alice back to New York’s Joyce Theater. It’s an uneven ride, with many visual thrills and stretches of material too lightly sketched. 

Los destellos del alumbrado navideño de Vigo han acogido, con altas dosis de fantasía, la obra Alice de la reputada compañía Momix.

If dance is meant to be a mix of art and entertainment, MOMIX occasionally tipped too far into the “pure entertainment” part.

Watching MOMIX’s Botanica is like travelling to another world—one where the lines between reality and illusion are blurred. The dancers and their costumes create a performance that must be recognized as the sum of its parts. In this way, Botanica uses the organic quality of dance for a completely unique representation of nature.
