A company of self-described "dancer-illusionists," led by award-winning choreographer and artistic director Moses Pendleton, Momix dazzles audiences with its innovative and provocative take on modern dance and classical stage illusion. In Botanica, this troupe of amazing performance artists gracefully moves, twists, contorts and bends their bodies to portray the progression of the seasons through nature, with a focus on naturalistic movements and organic plant-like shapes. Aided by elaborate costumes (designed by Michael Curry, acclaimed production designer for Cirque du Soleil, Disney and the Metropolitan Opera), props, projections, puppetry and a soundtrack that ranges from bird song to Vivaldi, Botanica is as visually stunning as it is mentally tantalizing.

Musical Theatre West Brings Spamalot to Long Beach

Full Price:
$53.00 - $68.00
Our Price:
$26.50 - $34.00

Musical Theatre West brings its 59th season to a close with one of the funniest shows on Earth, Monty Python's Spamalot. Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, Spamalot lovingly rips off the film classic Monty Python and The Holy Grail to tell the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on their epic quest. However, diverting a bit from the real story, this hilarious musical features such oddities as a line of beautiful dancing girls, flatulent Frenchmen and killer rabbits. A cast of professional actors from the Broadway, Hollywood and national tours, as well as the best in local talent, will perform the show with the original Broadway sets and costumes. Learn More

Description

Defying categorization just as its dancers defy gravity, Moses Pendleton’s company of dancer-illusionists is celebrated around the world for its ability to conjure enthralling images using light, shadow, props, and the boundless invention of the human body. Widely hailed as their hottest show yet, Botanica traffics in the tension between illusion and reality, following the rhythms of the seasons, but also the evolution of the world and the passing of a day. To a score that includes Vivaldi’s "Four Seasons", flowers bloom, go to seed and die; vegetable, animal and mineral—all in human form—combine and metamorphose in spectacular moving tableaux creating a total dance theatre environment.
