Go Down The Rabbit Hole With MOMIX: ALICE At The Lied!

Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with Moses Pendleton's newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

As Alice's body grows, shrinks, and grows again, MOMIX dancers extend themselves by means of props, ropes, and other dancers. Take a journey that is  magical, mysterious, fun, eccentric, and much more. As Alice experiences every kind of transformation, so will you. “I don't intend to retell the whole Alice story” Pendleton says, “but to use it as a taking off point for invention.”

Tickets for MOMIX: Alice on Saturday, March 30, 2024 at 7:30pm start at $29 adult/$14.50 youth and are available now at liedcenter.org, (402) 472-4747, and at the Lied Center box office.

This production is recommended for ages 8+.
