The Paramount Theater of Charlottesville

Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with renowned choreographer Moses Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Known internationally for presenting works of exceptional inventiveness and physical beauty, MOMIX is a company of dancer-illusionists. Join them 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! Seamlessly blending illusion, acrobatics, magic, and whimsy, ALICE is an invitation to invent, to let imagination run and play outside, revealing that nothing in MOMIX’s world is as it seems!
