Tubong: Ode to Living Ancestors is an innovative and interdisciplinary dance theater performance inspired by the pre-colonial Pilipinx Indigenous Tubong ritual. Utilizing movements of contemporary and experimental dance to sustain traditional cultural practices, Tubong enacts a ritual of healing to celebrate and honor trailblazing elder Pilipnx artists and activists by Alleluia “Manai” Panis.
