Momix "Botanica"

Got to see Momix this afternoon. To describe it as visually arresting doesn't do it justice. It's a mix of modern dance with ballet, acrobatics, and insane (brilliant) costumes. The narrative - as much as I can determine - is plants. The dancers represent everything from trees, flowers (the orange are one of my favorites), birds, flies, other insects, and whatever real or mythological beings they desired. The 10 dancers (5 women, 5 men) were amazing. Gifted in dance, atmosphere, strength, and a bunch of creepy wonderful stuff I can't even describe. It was a weird, lovely afternoon. Thanks L.
