In a world of constant updates, how would it feel to go back to an earlier work? Works that were the first pitch in the shaping of independent contemporary dance in the Philippines. Works that were “alone” in the dance landscape. Can we understand their breakthroughs? Was it due to something that can be re-created or is it more intangible – and specific to the time? “They were mostly characterized by SILENCE. I wanted to hear myself, and I think the audience wanted the same as well.” (Myra Beltran) Is SILENCE still the most radical thing, in a world of constant “status updates”?
