Some information on upcoming Alamat production

Kalinga

  • Kabunyan washes away a once harmonious land turned chaos. A new life begins restoring and sustaining the traditions and culture of the Kalinga.

Ga’dang

  • The blue skies and corn filled mountains of Paracelis turn a journey in search of a Makammang to call back and heal the soul of sick.

Tboli

  • In a fit of jealousy, the ruling datu slays his brother. For this outrage, his daughter is fated to die.

Bagobo

  • A stolen set of gongs awakens the spirits and causes disorder in the community. As the gong is retrieved one by one, music played pleasing to the spirits send them back to rest. The community regains their livelihood and bountiful harvests.
