Near
Whisper (2002) |
|||
| premiere: | Spartan Complex Theater; San Jose, California | |||
| choreography + performance: | Manuelito Biag | |||
| music: | Jess Rowland | |||
Near Whisper is a solo project, drawing on the life and writings of Filipino poet Carlos Bulosan (America Is In the Heart). The piece combines music, movement and uses autobiographical text as source material in mapping out the despair and years of racist hardship the itinerant laborer endured following the harvest trail in the rural West. Near Whisper is a project that borders between performance, essay and homage to how Bulosan gave a voice to those who were strangled of their own. |
