Description:
Helobung means “endless joy” and is also a long-standing collective of indigenous Tboli musicians, singers, and dancers from the Philippines.
The ensemble plays gong-like instruments familiar to lovers of Filipino kulintang or Javanese gamelan. Their pulsing, ever-shifting tones create rhythmic waves underscored by other small percussion, summoning a high-energy soundscape. In response, dancers exhibit breathtaking footwork paired with sweeping arms, slow spins, and wiggling hips, elegant dignity and playful athleticism.
This performance is general admission seating. Individuals and home school groups will be seated in an assigned section to manage the overall speed and efficiency preparing for the performance. Individuals and families are welcome and encouraged to attend. Seating will be designated upon arrival.
If you would like to sit as a group, we will try to meet up before the show. Otherwise feel free to arrive and sit as a family.
