Opens This Weekend

 

THE EARTH IS RUST. All organics have fully transitioned online or are scattered through the cosmos. You keep your head down and your mouth shut. You grind through your days and sleep through your nights. In your electric dreams there is a song you don’t remember when you wake up. Until one day you do. Welcome to your Forbidden Future.

 

Written by Golda Sargento, Ed Mabasa, and mgb. Directed by Joe Cascasan, Juan G. Berumen, and Judith Ferrer. Performed through live music, staged theater, and shadow puppetry. Inspired by classic sci-fi pulp fiction novels, cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic fiction, and Heavy Metal Magazine, Forbidden Future(s) is guaranteed to be a unique theater experience you won’t want to miss.

Daluyan Workshops Begin October 14th

 

 

 

DALUYAN* is an interactive workshop, facilitated by Sammay Dizon, rooted in storytelling through movement, writing, and performance. Through activating our bodies as receivers of ancestral memory, how can we serve our own healing journeys for transformation of self, lineage, and community? Together, we will instigate the smells, sights, sounds, and somatic sensations residing in our respective vessels and re-discover how our DNA and lived experiences assist us in remembering and recognizing our intergenerational truths - which further our envisioning for the world we dream for the future generations.

 

*This workshop is for womxn of color and two-spirit/non-binary community members; folks of Pilipinx descent are especially encouraged to attend.

All workshops held at Bayanihan Community Center. 1010 Mission St. SF, CA
