Rich in imagination and visual impact, BOTANICA offers a captivating experience for a wide audience, inviting newcomers and longtime theatergoers alike into a universe that feels at once dreamlike, organic and alive.
"We like to work with the alchemy of perception: a way of seeing that transforms the everyday into something elemental. ... I am constantly inspired by the energy of the sun, how it shapes a landscape, nourishes a flower, casts a shadow that becomes part of the dance. BOTANICA is not just about creating something beautiful; it's about awakening the senses, reconnecting us with the basic elements of life and reminding us that we are not separate from nature, we are shaped by it." - Moses Pendleton, founder and artistic director of Momix
