KULARTS presents the latest project by “Manai” Alleluia Panis, the world premiere performance for Burden of Proof.
Tubong to Living Ancestors transforms the stage into an immersive sacred space, to honor seventeen diasporic Pan Asian American legacy artists and cultural leaders. Alleluia Panis Dance Theatre, John Calloway & the Kulintang Jazz Art Ensemble, and select legacy artists, join together to perform new works as well as restaged excerpts from 1990’s, “Cycles: Timeless Rituals to Ancient Icons” and “Diwata.” The event explores the intersection of indigenous ritual and contemporary performance to pay homage to our living legacy artists.
*Tubong [too-bung], also known as “Putong” means ‘to crown’ is a communal ritual performed to honor the village elders.
