For the third consecutive year, MOMIX is back at the Joyce with Botanica, an eco-friendly multimedia exploration of the four seasons, with the company’s talented cast 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, creates pieces that range from the awe-inspiring to the gimmicky, constantly surprising audiences with amazing uses of light, sound, costumes, props, and the human body. Botanica proceeds through a cycle that that is divided into “Opus Cactus,” “Baseball,” “Passion,” “Lunar Sea,” “reMix,” and “Botanica” and features music by Peter Gabriel, Antonio Vivaldi, and birds.
