Tom Ayres, Director of Marketing and Audience DevelopmentUnique Momix show requires special seating

By Tom Ayres
Director of Marketing and Audience Development

The unique nature of the upcoming PCA performance of Lunar Sea by dancer-illusionists Momix has necessitated special seating requirements for the Merrill Auditorium show on Thursday, January 24.

Momix’s “eye-popping and mind-boggling” (New York Times) new work Lunar Sea makes extensive use of black light to create extraordinary, surrealistic special effects as the dancers move about the Merrill stage. Because too much light in the theater could compromise these black-lit segments of the performance, PCA has arranged to have the theater’s aisle lights, which normally remain on during performances, extinguished for the full Momix show. As a consequence, audience members will be asked to remain seated for their own safety throughout the entire Lunar Sea performance, which will last 90 minutes with no intermission.

Concerned about spending an hour and a half in your seat while you take in the full, mind-blowing Momix experience? Fear not! Having previewed this stunning new work, I promise you’ll be both riveted to your seat and transported to other worlds, captivated by the spellbinding interplay of light, music, and motion that is Lunar Sea. Enjoy!
