Tulane Department of Theatre & Dance

Join us as we welcome Réunion Island-based theater company Tilawcis, sharing their latest work, Flamboyants!, at Tulane's Dixon Hall Auditorium!

This work of documentary theater with music explores the remarkable intersections of Creole culture and identity between the geographically distant communities of Réunion Island, New Orleans, and Puerto Rico through music, storytelling, and gorgeous projections.

Five languages are spoken on stage, and nearly a dozen instruments are played, fusing maloya, bomba, and Mardi Gras Indians songs. The piece explores themes of memory, identity, resilience, connection, and cultural transmission through the prism of the Creole experience. It shines a light on the richness of Creole cultures and their capacity to overcome historical oppression.

TICKETS AVAILABLE through Alliance Française of New Orleans and is FREE for Tulane students showing their Splash Card.

What a great way to kick off the 2026-27 academic year!! Thank you to all our new and returning Department of Theatre & Dance students who joined us at our Welcome (Back) celebration. We're looking forward to a year filled with creativity, collaboration, dancing, acting, directing, designing, and so much more.
