In this highly anticipated Knight Theater
engagement, revolutionary dance company
MOMIX brings its breathtaking fantasy piece
Botanica to Charlotte for its debut appearance.
Legendary choreographer Moses Pendleton
combines athletic dance, riveting music,
outrageous costumes, inventive props, and
pure talent to create an unforgettable multimedia experience.
Botanica transports you to a fantasy world of surreal images and childlike wonder brought to life by a cast of dancer-illusionists. Set to an eclectic score that ranges from birdsong to Vivaldi, Botanica reveals nature’s changing imagery in MOMIX’s signature illusionary style. Using large-scale puppets, projected imagery, and larger-than-life props designed by Michael Curry (The Lion King), MOMIX evokes a vivid landscape populated by Pendleton’s whimsical, fertile, and mythical imagination.
“Earthly and otherworldly at once—a magnificent vision of the everyday miracles around us.” TIMES UNION ON BOTANICA
“The beauty of MOMIX’s ideas is partly in their simplicity, partly in their acknowledgment of rhythm, humor, sex and amazing grace of the human body.” SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN
Be among the first in Charlotte to experience a performance in the sparkling new KNIGHT THEATER. The theater joins the Mint Museum, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, and the Afro-American Cultural Center in a new cultural district on South Tryon Street that will add a whole new dimension to the Uptown art scene.
