From Connecticut to the world: on international tour, Momix returns to Brazil with Botanica at the Municipal Theater

Momix, one of the world's most prestigious contemporary dance companies, returns to Brazil with "Botanica," a show created by Moses Pendleton that will be presented from September 22 to 25 at the Theatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro. The work combines dance, athletics, illusionism, and fantasy in a visually inspired experience by nature, conceived by the choreographer as an "herbal remedy" for a sick world. Pendleton, at the head of the company based in Washington, Connecticut, finds in the natural universe his main source of inspiration, having explored similar themes in previous productions such as "Opus Cactus" and "Lunar Sea."
