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 43rd Season: Dragon Song continues, Ballet Philippines keeps the magic and wonder alive in us all.
