MOMO

MOMO has two souls. One sends long roots to the depths of the earth, embodying archetypes and myths of hardened, raw, masculinity; the other is in a constant search for a distinct DNA. One soul moves within its own autonomous and independent force field; the other is a constellation of elements that spin around the same nucleus, alternately drifting towards it and away, making room for necessary tenderness and catharsis.

With a soundtrack composed mostly of the album Landfall by the legendary Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet, a shared passion of deep sorrow and beauty unfolds on stage in this rapturous dance work. Relinquishment becomes a dedicated search for a crack, and glitches in the movement code turn out to be free, playful, and emotive material. MOMO is an evocative exploration of the medium from a titan of contemporary dance.
