   Known internationally for presenting works of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, Moses Pendleton’s MOMIX defies categorization as easily as its dancers defy gravity! MOMIX delights audiences around the world and has been celebrated for its ability to conjure up a world of surrealistic images using props, light, shadow, humor and the human body. Now MOMIX returns to Houston with its newest evening-length production, the whimsical and mythical Botanica. With an eclectic score ranging from birdsongs to Vivaldi, Botanica follows the rhythms of the New England seasons, the evolution of the world and the passing of a day. Flowers bloom, go to seed and die; vegetable, animal and mineral – all in human form – combine and metamorphose. “Eye-popping and mind-boggling . . . everything looks magical.” — The New York Times
   Have a complete “Botanica” evening!
