LUX: a solo show

Carlos is an international artist born in Spain. He is the Artistic Director of Manifesto Poetico, an actor, stage director, theatre researcher, pedagogue and specialist in Contemporary Commedia dell’Arte and mask performance.

Manifesto Poetico comes from Carlos’ 25 years of research and productions done internationally. He has also performed and directed in over 20 different countries and over 45 different Universities. Over his career he has developed his research into multi-style mis-en-scene, inter-disciplinary productions and devised theatre that is contemporary. The success of his work and the enthusiastic response from the audience comes from a reinvention of traditional-popular theatre. As he learned from Dario Fo, Carlos keeps the spirit of popular theatre in order to create new contemporary theatrical languages that speak to audiences today.

He directs shows, workshops, TransPoetico Productions and research projects in Europe, North, South and Central America, Africa and Asia.

Meagan is a native-to-Dallas actor, producer, and director. While this production is her third solo show to star in, this will be the first of her own creation. She is delighted to share the character of Sally deLux with the world, and plans to tour this production in the United States and beyond.

Meagan has recently been seen around DFW working with Echo Theatre (OPEN), Ochre House Theatre (DADDY’S RABBITS, TOWN FOR SALE), Shakespeare Everywhere (THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, LOVE’S LABOURS LOST, TWELFTH NIGHT, TITUS ANDRONICUS), Amphibian Stage (SPACEMAN, SPARKFEST), Fair Assembly (AS YOU LIKE IT), the Undermain (SPACED OUT), Kitchen Dog Theatre (THAT DRIVE THRU MONTERREY), and Auriga Productions (KING LEAR). She is proud to have earned two degrees from Southern Methodist University in Acting and Art History. She is also delighted to be represented by the Mary Collins Agency for film and television. 

Armando Monsivais holds a B.M. and M.M. in music performance from Southern Methodist University. His sound designs incorporate original compositions from various styles like Mexican folk, Hip- Hop, Classical, Jazz, and Rock-n-Roll, but always catering to the needs of the show. Armando has sound designed and composed for Luchadora (Cara Mia Theatre), Prime-Time for Murder (Pegasus Theatre), Searching for the Six Flags of Texas (Cara Mia Theatre), Ursula (Cara Mia Theatre), Pizcas (Teatro Dallas), Tlatli-When we Were Earth (Teatro Dallas), and The Siege of Numantia (UNT Theatre Department) among others. Mr. Monsivais has also worked as an actor with Prizm, Bishop Arts Theatre, Cara Mia Theatre, Shakespeare Dallas, Dallas Children’s Theater, and Laboratorio de La Mascara (Mexico City). You can currently catch him in Teatro Dallas’ film production of The Monster in his Labyrinth as Diego Rivera. 

In addition, this production would not have been possible without the incredible contributions of Justin Locklear, who designed, and constructed the puppet and box set piece for this production.
