The MOMIX dance-illusionist troupe combines physical theatre, circus, incredable athleticism, dance and comedy with dramatic lighting, multimedia images, exciting costumes and total body control to captivate audiences.
MOMIX returns to the DC area with another how-do-they-do-that performance of Lunar Sea, a fluid and surreal journey to an aquatic world. Using glow in the dark floating dancers, it’s a combination laser light show, surrealistic fantasy and dreamscape in one.
