Ballet Philippines presents ANTING

On September 14 to 16, 2012, Ballet Philippines performs its second season offering, Neo-Filipino: Anting.

 

Anting brings to life pre-eminent dramatist Tony Perez’s libretto that explores the world of talismans and amulets of Filipino magical traditions. It is made up for four separate movements, each depicting a specific kind of amulet and its powers.

Each movement is interpreted through dance by noted Filipino choreographers: BP artistic director Paul Alexander Morales, BP associate artistic director Christine Crame, BP alumnus and E-Dance Theatre artistic director Gerald Mercado, and Airdance artistic director Ava Villanueva-Ong. They will work with the music of noted musicians Jed Balsamo, Jerrold Tarod, Teresa Barrozo and Israel Rodriguez.

 

Anting promises to take audiences to a different world, one that is altogether historical, traditional, and familiar yet edgy and unusual in approach. As the 43^rd Season: Dragon Song continues, Ballet Philippines keeps the magic and wonder alive in us all.

Friday, September 14 at 3pm and 8pm; 

Saturday, September 15 at 2pm and 6pm;
