This contemporary dance piece combines video, dance and music / sound art to render this significant drama into a contemporary language.

"On a lonely path where no Filipino dancer has treaded," as one writer put it, Myra Beltran formed Dance Forum in 1995 and has since led a generation of committed dance artists into new terrain in Philippine dance.

She has amassed a distinct body of work and holds a unique place in Philippine dance because she has accomplished this almost single-handedly. Her Dance Forum space has produced many artists’ work and is currently on its eighth year.

Among the choreographer’s work it has produced are the work of are Paul Morales, Dwight Rodrigazo, Denisa Reyes, Christine Maranan, Jojo Lucila, Enrico Labayen.

It has also collaborated with artists of various disciplines in its space. Among the most visible ones of its artist collaborators are Alfonso Bolipata, Carlitos Siguion-Reyna, Anton Juan, Bencab, Roberto Feleo, Karen Flores, Dr. Ramon Santos, Ramon Bolipata.
