Performance artist Jasmine Orpilla, together with an ensemble of musicians, pays tribute to all those who guard any hope for humanity during times of war. Orpilla physically marks the symbolism of specific Filipino foods, minerals, materials and weaponry which ‘touch’ upon and ‘feed’ renowned anti-colonial warriors, activists and revolutionaries of the Philippines’ past.
Ensemble musicians include Marlo Campos, Brian Ortal and Lara Balajadia.
Jasmine Orpilla is a ritual performance artist, soprano/composer for experimental music theatre and a dancer who has trained classically and performed in multiple languages throughout Europe and America. Orpilla creates genre-defying vocal art pieces that question, deconstruct, reconstruct, heal and ultimately celebrate her 1st-generation Filipina-American identity.
