You are invited to experience our open rehearsal during our creative development residency at Green Space LIC and to join us for this talkback afterward.

Intended as a dance installation, bumalik re-roots the Filipinx body amongst the emotional, psychological, and socioeconomic challenges our diaspora faces as displaced children of mother service laborers and migrants.

Set within a bamboo forest that in moments becomes a nipa hut, a seashell, and a cage, we activate the memory between the body, the sexualized, the natural, and the built.

Our stories replace our erasure.

Our environment becomes our home.

We welcome you to bring an offering to set at our living altar.
