For almost 45 years, MOMIX has captivated audiences of all ages and has developed a worldwide following with its inimitable productions. As a company of dancer-illusionists, its works artfully fuse dance, lighting, musical effects, costumes, and video projections. Artistic Director Moses Pendleton is interested in how the human body can investigate non-human worlds, and Lewis Carroll’s classic tale Alice in Wonderland is a natural fit to let one’s imagination run wild.  

A magical dream world takes the stage, bursting at the seams with surprising ingenuity and playful fantasy. In her search for Wonderland, our heroine Alice ventures into the burrow of the White Rabbit. There, she is thrown into a universe where the usual laws of space, time and language are subtly transformed through increasingly madcap imagery. In the scenes that follow, she meets extraordinarily strange creatures with exceptional abilities. Here, the stage is MOMIX’s rabbit hole, and you won’t want to miss this fascinating adventure!
