TAOUS: ON STAGE

Current Production:

SUNRISE AT MIDNIGHT

ON TOUR 2022! MINNEAPOLIS, GRANITE FALLS, AND NEW LONDON!

Blending dynamic theater and original songs, Sunrise at Midnight is a rare glimpse into the rich Kabyle Folktale tradition from Algeria virtually unknown in the United States. A flute that posses the power to upend life as we know it; a sexy cautionary tale for young men looking to marry too soon; a chilling sacrifice a leader must make, interweave to create an electrifying play of lust, wit and adventure.

PRAISE FOR SUNRISE AT MIDNIGHT

“…Sunrise at Midnight is a lovely and fascinating journey into the world of these traditional folktales, that most of us would never otherwise be able to visit.” -Blog Cherry and Spoon

“It’s physical theater…an Algerian tradition that’s also a regional specialty in the Twin Cities…the actors are tight and expressive.” -The City Pages

What audiences said:

“…loved the storytelling, the movement and music.”

 “A phenomenal show! Never a dull moment.”

“We talked about it all the way home. Please tell us more stories!”
