Synopsis Astonishing inventiveness, playful humour and physical beauty are the hallmarks of Momix. Since 1981 they have conjured up otherworldly imagery through the original use of props, light, music, and the human form. American company Momix returns to the Peacock Theatre to delight audiences with artistic director Moses Pendleton’s fascinating other-worldly dance creation Lunar Sea. Step into another world where figures glow eerily as they float through the darkness - combining props, light and shadow, Momix’s Lunar Sea is a "black and white ballet" in which dancers in fluorescent costumes float and fly magically, unbound by the laws of gravity. Presented under black light and featuring projections and puppets by Michael Curry (part of the Lion King design team), Moses Pendleton’s surreal world of dance and optical illusion is an exceptionally inventive production that will enthral all ages. You’ll leave the theatre with just one question: how on earth did they do that? Running time 1 hour 50 minutes. including interval.
