SUMMARY:MOMIX "Alice"
DESCRIPTION: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.” \nJoin 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. Filled with visual splendor and startling creative movement\, Alice reveals that nothing in MOMIX’s world is as it seems! \n“MOMIX’s Alice fills the stage with a marvelously dizzying flow of physical activities and illusions amid expansive\, artful projections”.  -Wall Street Journal \nThe run time is approximately 90 minutes plus an intermission. Recommended for ages 8+.
