The true gift of the arts is that they inherently transcend language, even culture, and speak to each viewer or listener as though they share the same tongue, the same experience, the same space. Dance in particular seems to drill through differences, using movement to deftly break barriers and create a commonality between the dancer and the viewer that allows even a staunch literalist to feel something as a performance unfurls. Charles Santos, director of the Texas International Theatrical Arts Society (TITAS), understands this intimately. On a recent trip to Israel, a Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company performance resonated so thoroughly that he snapped them up for an appearance in Dallas. Now, the company will appear at the Dallas City Performance Hall, 2520 Flora St., at 8 p.m. Saturday, performing a blend of sophisticated and abstract dance that evokes Israel’s complex cultural and political landscape while still conveying emotion and drama that we can all relate to, with no translator necessary. Tickets are $12 to $135; visit dallasculture.org for more.
