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.
Neo-Filipino: Anting has six (6) performances at the CCP
Little Theater: Friday, September 14 at 3pm and 8pm; Saturday, September 15 at
2pm and 6pm; and Sunday, September 16 at 10am and 3pm. Tickets are at P600
(matinees) and P1000 (evening shows). Student and senior citizen discounts
apply. For tickets, call Ballet Philippines at 551-1003 or Ticketworld at
891-9999. Visit www.ballet.ph.
