MOMIX

The Joyce Theater

Momix, the wildly creative dance company led by famed artistic director Moses Pendleton, is expected to wrap up the PASA season with its fantastical Alice, a retelling of Lewis Carroll’s Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, on March 8, 2023. The tale of Alice unfolds in this exhilarating 90-minute adventure of visionary ideas, creative costuming and props, and dancers’ bodies with extraordinary ability.

Momix: Alice

Heymann Performing Arts Center

Known internationally for presenting works of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, MOMIX is a company of dancer-illusionists under the direction of Moses Pendleton that has been dazzling New Orleans audiences to sell-out crowds since 1993. Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic  Alice in Wonderland. As Alice’s body grows and shrinks and grows again, Pendleton’s dancers extend themselves by means of props, ropes and other dancers. “I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story,” Pendleton says, “but to use it as a starting point for invention.” Full of imagery and absurd logic, the ALICE story lets the imagination run and play with the fusion of dancing, lighting, music, costumes and projected imagery; audiences will be taken on a journey that is magical, mysterious, fun, eccentric and much more. A feast of visual splendor and creative movement, ALICE reveals that nothing in MOMIX’s world is as it seems.

Tobin Center for the Performing Arts

Seamlessly blending illusion, acrobatics, magic and whimsy, MOMIX sends audiences flying down the rabbit hole in Moses Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland.
“I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story” Pendleton says, “but to use it as a taking off point for invention.” 
Join this dazzling company on a mind-bending adventure, as Alice encounters time-honored characters including the undulating Caterpillar, a lobster quadrille, frenzied White Rabbits, a mad Queen of Hearts and a variety of other surprises.
