Ballet Philippines has been around since the 70s, and have continually delivered exemplary performances as the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ (CCP) first resident company. They’re best known for their excellent performances and are widely recognized as a cornerstone of contemporary Filipino identity.

See Alice Reyes’ “Itim Asu”, Denisa Reyes’ “Muybridge Frames”, Gener Caringal’s “Ang Sultan”, Norman Walker’s “Songs of a Wayfarer”, and Pauline Koner’s “Concertino” in this possible once-in-a-lifetime chance to see works that haven’t seen the light of day since the 70s and 80s.
