Ipat a Kadsakay Project is a new ritual dance work inspired by the Sagayan Dance from the Maguindanaon Ipat ritual, choreographed by Eric Solano and performed by Parangal Dance Company. Our performance work is a modern interpretation of Sagayan, a spiritual dance that welcomes ancestral spirits and wards off evil spirits. The Sagayan dance is performed as part of Ipat - a pre-Islamic, Shamanic healing ritual performed by indigenous Filipino people of the Maguindanaon culture. The final touring piece will include 14 dancers and six musicians.
