Filipinx American choreographer and healer SAMMAY will premiere ritual for thrivation no. 2 at the State of Play Festival presented by ODC Theater in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA on the unceded ancestral lands of the Ramaytush Ohlone. In a world that has forgotten its inherent responsibility to the earth and each other, this ritual performance and space-time continuum poses ancestral reverence, intergenerational healing, and urban-indigenous futurism as urgent and fundamental to alleviating our current climate crisis.
ritual for thrivation no. 2 will convene an intergenerational Filipinx collective to explore themes of futurism, sovereignty, desire, abundance, and collective care. With Araw ng Kalayaan just around the corner, we will ask the fundamental question: how do we move from a perpetual stasis of survival to palpable thrivation? This is a question for your mama, papa, lola, lolo, tito, tita, tita, that tita and certainly that tita of yours, too.
