The new work by Kira Fargas, titled after the former national bird of the Philippines, investigates the profound themes of displacement and separation experienced by families affected by societal divides. Through her choreography, Fargas explores the anguish of longing for connection and the instinct for self-preservation that emerges from these harsh realities. As a queer, first-generation Filipina American, she uses her artistry to reflect on the impossibility of physical togetherness, aiming to resonate with audiences on a deeper emotional level.
Kira Fargas' new work, inspired by the pain of separation and displacement, delves into the deep longing for community and the survival instinct amid harsh realities.
Drawing on her experience as a first-generation Filipina American, Kira Fargas uses dance to express the complexities of identity, separation, and the search for togetherness.
