The nine dancers in “Delusional Beauty” didn’t seem “more like us,” especially the Golden Figure. Danced at the May 25 matinee by TWB Studio Company member Misha Glouchkova in a gold harem costume, this creature had a flower bouquet instead of a head (designer: Mark Zappone). Lopez Ochoa, who often uses an image as her starting point, decided to bring Salvador Dalí’s “La femme à la tête de fleurs” to life, with a varied electronic score — eerie, pulsing, stormy, at times with the sound of wind or suggesting Asian or Spanish guitar music — by composers Aaron Martin, Christen Lien and Zoë Keating.
