KULARTS, the nation's premiere Pilipino arts's Blurbs
About me:
The nation's premier presenter of contemporary and tribal Pilipino arts
KULARTS (Kulintang Arts Inc.) was founded in 1985 to inform and expand the understanding of American Pilipino culture through works that address contemporary issues in our community; to preserve the spirit and integrity of ancient Pilipino art forms; and to nurture the artistic development of Pilipino American artists. Since 1985, we have fostered Pilipino American artists; facilitated local and international collaborations; designed and implemented educational outreach programs for elementary through college age students; and led cultural tours to the Philippines.

IBIG: PULSE OF DESIRE The Latest Dance Theater Work by Alleluia Panis
Sat-Sun, July 18-19, 1pm
Yerba Buena Gardens Esplanade (in front of MLK waterfall)
FREE!
The world premiere of the newest dance theater work by director/choreographer Alleluia Panis, in collaboration with director Sean San Jose, featuring works by Pilipino-American poets/storytellers Bayani Mariano and Oscar Peñaranda. Combining the physicality of contemporary dance, the exquisite articulation of traditional dance, and the muscular grace of eskrima, Alleluia Panis creates the heat and the passion of forbidden love based on the life and work of iconic 1970s Pilipino American poet Bayani Mariano. Enshrouded in mystery, Fate (Alleluia Panis), the angel of grace, hovers bearing witness as lovers, Eli (Alexandria Diaz Defato) and Bayani (Gregory Manalo) -- lonely and displaced, thrown together in San Francisco's urban landscape of invisible imigrants -- become mentally unhinged by the forceful and relentless pulse of life's desire.
The music is in the traditional Pilipino kundiman style, with the 70's sounds of R&B, Gospel, and jazz.
