BURDEN OF PROOF, is an immersive multimedia dance performance set in the near future. Inspired by a true story* it delves into the generational truama inflicted by the American Justice system and how traumatic experiences blur the line between memory and nightmare, told through the lens of the fictional Calinao immigrant family. Original sound score features text drawn from The Diary of Lenora Megabo Perez* and the writings of her son, Jason Magabo Perez, 2024 San Diego Poet Laureate.

*Pilipina nurses Leonora Megabo Perez and Filipina Narciso were convicted in the 1975 unexplained deaths at the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan. They were incarcerated, until a judge ordered their release due to prosecutors “overwhelming prejudice” against the nurses.
