SUMMARY:And Then There Were None
DESCRIPTION:Ten strangers are mysteriously summoned to a remote island. Bound by their shared dark secrets\, they soon realize they have been condemned to death. Trapped by a violent storm\, the guests are killed one by one\, each demise eerily following the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. \nThis chilling stage adaptation\, penned by Dame Agatha Christie herself\, is based on her world-renowned novel—the best-selling mystery of all time. \nDescribed as “a dark\, twisted tale: a tribute to the author’s genius” by Review Hub and “certainly one of Christie’s cleverest mysteries” by WhatsOnStage\, this gripping whodunit promises suspense and intrigue from start to finish. \nPlease note: this performance contains scenes of violence.

DESCRIPTION:For almost 45 years\, MOMIX has captivated audiences of all ages and has developed a worldwide following with its inimitable productions. As a company of dancer-illusionists\, its works artfully fuse dance\, lighting\, musical effects\, costumes\, and video projections. Artistic Director Moses Pendleton is interested in how the human body can investigate non-human worlds\, and Lewis Carroll’s classic tale Alice in Wonderland is a natural fit to let one’s imagination run wild.  \nA magical dream world takes the stage\, bursting at the seams with surprising ingenuity and playful fantasy. In her search for Wonderland\, our heroine Alice ventures into the burrow of the White Rabbit. There\, she is thrown into a universe where the usual laws of space\, time and language are subtly transformed through increasingly madcap imagery. In the scenes that follow\, she meets extraordinarily strange creatures with exceptional abilities. Here\, the stage is MOMIX’s rabbit hole\, and you won’t want to miss this fascinating adventure!  \n\n\n\n\n1\nEvent advisories\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmoke machine
