MOMIX – OPUS CACTUS

If Salvador Dali and Leonardo da Vinci were inspired by National Geographic you’d get Opus Cactus, Moses Pendleton’s amazing evening-length work about the desert world.

Surreal, wondrous and massively creative, there’s nothing like the MOMIX performance experience. If you’ve always wondered about dance, MOMIX is the ticket.

France’s COMPAGNIE HERVÉ KOUBI

Two years ago, Compagnie Hervé Koubi debuted in Dallas with TITAS Presents and struck the audience speechless, that is until the standing ovation. A French male company with Algerian dancers, they are unique in our season. Fearless, powerful and masculine beyond belief, Hervé Koubi is a stunningly beautiful dance company. This exceptional company of men will once again demand awe from the audience, and they’ll get it.

“[Hervé Koubi] had a trancelike hold on the audience: glacially slow at times, whirlwind fast at other times, and always mesmerizing.”

LUCKY PLUSH PRODUCTIONS

A group of washed-up super heroes join forces to create a nonprofit think tank but get caught up in the politics of branding and group dynamics. Fighting evil ain’t what it used to be. This is the basis for Trip the Light Fantastic: The Making of SuperStrip, Lucky Plush’s newest creation. Funny, smart and thought provoking, Lucky Plush is a breath of fresh air in the dance world. They’re going to quickly become a TITAS favorite!

“In between these chaotic but somehow connected bits of lives, the dancers move beautifully, athletically and in equally improbable and choreographed configurations… What a wonderful, improbable, brilliantly timed piece of theater.”
