MOMIX – Botanica – Season 2

The Teatro Olimpico hosts the eagerly awaited return of the legendary Momix, the American company of dancer-illusionists founded by Moses Pendleton, returning to Rome for a show produced in collaboration with the Accademia Filarmonica Romana.

Among the company's most emblematic works, Botanica, created in 2009, returns to the stage in a new version, a second chapter that the famous choreographer revisits and reinvents, revealing new nuances.

The show is an enchanted journey into the heart of nature, following the rhythm of the seasons and transforming the stage into a landscape in constant metamorphosis. Amidst evocative images, athletic movements and surprising scenic illusions, the choreography interacts with an eclectic soundtrack, combining the sounds of nature with the sumptuous music of Antonio Vivaldi.

Enriched with technological effects and three-dimensional images, Botanica – Season 2 becomes a sensory immersion that reveals the power of nature, from the buzzing of insects to the beauty of marigolds, from the imposing branches stretching towards the sky to the energy of the sun, inviting the audience to let themselves be carried away into a dreamlike world, where the splendour and harmony of the natural cycle remind us how precious the wonders of our planet are. 

Founded in 1980, and known throughout the world for its shows of great imagination and beauty, Momix is capable of evoking a universe of surreal images by making human bodies, costumes, tools and plays of light interact.
