Add the maturity, style and choreography of Circ Du Solei but without the circus acts, add stunning lighting and visual tricks performed on stage by a set of dancers, all backed by a soundtrack as if made by Buddha Bar’s Claude Challe himself and that only begins to describe what the Momix show is all about. This visually rich show is held at the Peacock theatre, and my sister got us bargain stall tickets normally retailing for more than at least £30 for only £10.
It is much too difficult to describe what the show is about – perhaps it is best classified as contemporary dance as there is no singing and no real acting, but then it is not so much about the dancing than it is about the visual tricks that have been mastered by the performers. Their costumes and props in combination with the detailed lighting and music, take you from the real world where you are sitting and plunge you into a surreal world where what you see on stage may not be what you think.
A show that is best explained if you watch if for yourself and something that I can highly recommend.
Sounds like something I would never really be interested in but after reading a review like that I feel slightly compelled to go see it now.
Yeah, it’s something that I think that most people would shrug off, but if you are open to new and different things is a pretty good thing to see.
