Joining the Kadayawan celebration at
SM City Davao is the country’s top ballet ensemble Ballet Philippines on
August 10.
Ballet Philippines goes Kadayawan will feature excerpts from the
company’s well-loved pieces made possible with the genius of proudly
Davao talents.
Moriones. Choreographed by no less than Ms Agnes Locsin, Moriones
takes inspiration from the Moriones Festival of Marinduque. The material
was originally put together for Ballet Philippines 2’s
participation at the Recontres Festival Du Danse in La Baule, France.
It also became a study for movement for the Guardias Civil dance for
Locsin’s coming Encantada. Full performance was first seen in July 1991,
Manila, Philippines.
Pusong Wagas. With the original
music by independent music icons
Cynthia Alexander and Joey Ayala, Pusong Wagas is an original
contemporary ballet based on the legend of the city of Mandaluyong. Set
in pre-colonial Manila, the story highlights the exemplary love of
Luyong, a gifted carpenter, and Manda, a tribal princess,
and their sacrifice in the face of the coming foreign invaders.
As an addition to the 2 powerful
numbers, Ballet Philippines is also set to perform lllustrated
Dialects which is an exquisite lyrical interpretation of the
slow-moving romance of Filipino love songs.
