MOMIX returns to Cal Performances with Botanica — and it is exactly as breathtaking as it sounds. 💐🌿

First created in 2009 and revived for 2026–27, Botanica is a surreal, season-spanning journey through the natural world. Set to an eclectic score that moves from the sounds of birdsong to the grandeur of Vivaldi, the work follows the rhythms of the seasons and the passage of a single day — all brought to life through MOMIX's signature blend of athletic movement and theatrical spectacle.

Love dance? Our Dance Subscription Bundle is the best way to see Botanica and more this season — with savings built in. Prefer something different? Explore our 2026–27 season across music, theater, and beyond: https://bit.ly/4cZ65r2

October called. It wants to know if you have plans yet. 🌺🎉

Mariachi Herencia de México is bringing their La Nueva Generación Tour: Día de los Mu***os to Zellerbach Hall on October 23 — and yes, we are absolutely asking you to think about fall in the middle of summer.

Traditional mariachi fused with salsa, bolero, bossa nova, son jarocho, huapango, and cumbia. We clearly can't wait!

Our 2026–27 season is full of performances that put humans at the center — from a musical memoir about finding your place in the world, to a 180-foot theatrical excavation of erased WWI history, to baroque opera that still breaks your heart 300 years later. 📚✍️

We've put together a Storyteller's Guide to help you find the performances that were made for you.

They've been doing this for 50 years and it never gets old.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo — aka the Trocks — are coming to Zellerbach Hall this February, and this is the performance you bring literally anyone to. Pristine technique, outrageous costumes, and comedy that lands whether you've seen a hundred ballets or none.

Pristine technique. Lavish tutus. Just a hint of five o’clock shadow. 👀🩰

— the “Trocks” — have been delivering smart, en pointe satire of classic ballet repertoire for more than 50 years, and they’re returning to Zellerbach Hall this February. Whether you’re a lifelong ballet devotee or have never set foot in a dance theater, this one’s for you.
