This event also includes a live Skype stream in support of the Alameda-Dumaguete Sister City Project.
Parangal Dance Company will perform the evocative Hindu Malayan influenced dances of the Mindanao region accompanied by indigenous instrumentation of kulintang, gongs and drums*. Ron Quesada will deliver a fusion of ancient Filipino gong instrument with modern electronic dance music, dubbed "Kulintronica". Kristian Kabuay brings to the stage his modern performance style writing system called Tulang Kalis (Poetry of the Sword) based on the ancient writing system, Baybayin.
This performance is made possible with funding from the Zellerbach Family Foundation, Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and the Hewlett Foundation.
