Last year, MOMIX performed BOTANICA at the Joyce, what we called “an eco-friendly multimedia exploration of the four seasons, with the company’s talented cast of ten taking on the roles of flora and fauna, ocean waves, trees, rocks, birds, hornets, a storm, and just about everything else under the sun — well, actually, including the sun.” The inventive group, headed by artistic director and founder Moses Pendleton, is back at the Joyce to celebrate the dance troupe’s thirtieth anniversary, first presenting ReMIX May 11-23, a fortnight of their greatest hits and highlights, including pieces from ORBIT, LUNAR SEA, OPUS CACTUS, and BASEBALL, followed by two weeks of BOTANICA. MOMIX’s pieces range from the awe-inspiring to the gimmicky, constantly surprising audiences with inventive uses of light, sound, costumes, props, and the human body. A Dance Chat with Pendleton will follow the May 19 performance.
