Filipino-American choreographer Bennyroyce Royon’s Land, Lost, Found creates a sacred place where meditation, ritual, and performance intersect. Interpersonal boundaries are challenged as bodies collide, repel, and intertwine through a series of solos, duets, and intricate group work, excavating our deepest fears and desires. Land, Lost, Found exists in an ever-evolving spiritual and political landscape filled with fluid, visceral, highly physical, and emotionally charged movements. In this inspiring and transformative work, performers and audience alike are invited to question identity, re-root, and find common ground.
This project is part of Gibney’s WALLS DOWN! performance series curated by Eva Yaa Asantewaa.
