Lied Center presents Momix performing 'Botanica' April 10

            The Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present the dance troupe Momix performing "Botanica" at 7:30 p.m. April 10.

            Momix combines athletic dance, riveting music, outrageous costumes and pure talent to create an unforgettable experience. "Botanica" transports the audience to a fantasy world of surreal images using huge puppets, projected imagery and larger-than-life props created by Michael Curry, designer for Disney's Broadway musical, "The Lion King."

            A pre-show talk, scheduled one half hour before the performance, will be led by Susan Levine, UNL associate professor of dance. The talk, free to ticket holders, will be in the Lied Center's Steinhart Room.

            Tickets may be purchased at the Lied Center Ticket Office, 301 N. 12th St., by phone at 402-472-4747 or online at http://www.liedcenter.org. Ticket prices start at $34 for adults and $17 for youth.
