The return of Momix
Pendleton’s new Botanica is a journey through nature and transformation
The great choreographer Moses Pendleton, known for his Momix productions, returns to the Teatro Olimpico with an evolved version of his popular 2009 creation, Botanica. This new Momix work, on until May 10, unfolds like a living organism and has now been reshaped and expanded on stage, evolving from its original form into new and unexpected transformations.
Through Pendelton’s unmistakable visual and choreographic language, Botanica – Season 2 draws audiences into the spellbinding second chapter of Botanica, a sensual, immersive experience that makes us feel delightfully small before the hum of wasps, the lush sensuality of marigolds, the grandeur of branches stretching skyward, and the life-giving energy of the sun. Nature has always been Pendelton’s guiding muse, expressing the artist’s visionary and eco-friendly views and offering an infinite source of inspiration. Enhanced with striking new technological effects and three-dimensional imagery, the production restores a sense of harmony and represents the perfection of the life cycle, gently instilling the awareness that safeguarding the beauty and wonder of our planet is a responsibility we all share. teatroolimpico.it
