LIBULAN: of Quiescence and Disturbance

In the Visayan creation myth, Libulan is known as the moon god; although some myths associated the deity as female which makes him an icon for homosexuals. Libulan's cult was composed of cross-dressing males who were revered for their knowledge about healing and prophecies. These men, who are also known as 'Babaylan', were believed to have the ability to communicate between the physical and spiritual world. However, when colonizers came, they were demonized and erased in records ever since.

As this generation continues to long and seek for the sense of belongingness, Libulan calls for her new Babaylans.

(In this production, one can witness the life cycle of spiders. This production is also inspired by Agnes Locsin's "Arachnida" - a piece that is also about spiders.)
