Esbenshade Series features MOMIX's Opus Cactus on Feb. 17
Free tickets available for dynamic dancing performance at Peoples Bank Theatre
Marietta, Ohio (01/30/2019) — MOMIX's dancers will perform Opus Cactus at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 17, as part of Marietta College's Esbenshade Series at Peoples Bank Theatre.
After a 10-year rest period, Opus Cactus is back again with a new look, fresh energy, and fun surprises. MOMIX's dancers take audiences on a dynamic journey where their bodies become towering cacti, slithering lizards and fire dancers as they bring the landscape of the American Southwest to life through the illusionistic style of Opus Cactus. Originally created as a 20-minute piece in 2001 for the Ballet Arizona, Opus Cactus was then brought back into the MOMIX retort and a full-evening work was created.
All performances are free and open to the public. You can reserve up to four seats per performance about a month before the show. You can reserve them at peoplesbanktheatre.com or call the Peoples Bank Theatre Box Office at (740) 371-5152
Peoples Bank Theatre is located at 222 Putnam St. in downtown Marietta.
