Momix is celebrating the kick off its 2017 season with a production of “Opus Cactus,” from June 27 through July 16 at the Joyce Theater.
For the first time in more than a decade, the magic and wonder of the American Southwest is brought back to the New York stage through magical lighting and imagery. Dancers morph into luminous, exotic, many-limbed creatures of the desert, including birds, insects, giant saguaros, tumbleweeds, fire dancers, cactus wrens, and Gila monsters — all to the music of the Swingle Sisters to Brian Eno.
The production combines dance, music, and costumes to create a multi-media experience.
“Opus Cactus,” June 27 through July 16, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 7:30 pm; Thursdays and Fridays, 8 pm; Saturdays, 2 pm and 8 pm; and Sundays 2 pm and 7:30 pm. Tickets range from $10 to $66.
The Joyce Theater [175 Eighth Ave. at 19th Street in Chelsea, (212) 242–0800; www.momix.com].
