Romulus Ate is a performance group that came together in the University of Texas Department of Theatre and Dance. Formed in 2010, Romulus lives in the space between performance art, a dance concert, and a rock show. The music combines elements of pop, rock, and ambient electronic genres. The company of 5 dancers, 2 lighting designers, 4 musicians, a makeup artist and a costume designer perform an energy filled set with flashing lights, thumping music, and sweaty bodies. The show was designed with the idea of combining a professional theatrical production with the grittiness of a rock show, and creating a performance world in which anything can happen. During the set, traditional boundaries of performance, gender, and musical genre are subverted and reinvestigated through the passion driven work of the company.
