| Resource Title | The Performer as an embodied presentation of Piya Macliing Malayao in Habi : a theatrical adaptation of the documentary daughters of Cordillera |
| Date Issued | 4 June 2025 |
| Abstract | The Cordillera region is known for its rich culture, agriculture, mineral deposits, and other natural resources. This wealth is what makes the Cordillera region a great source of profit and site for developments. The land is truly something that the Igorots regard with great importance. It is a source of cultural identity that is tied even to their traditional songs, garments, and rituals. This creative project stages Habi, an adaptation of Ilang-Ilang Quijano’s documentary, Daughters of Cordillera, that centers on the narrative of an indigenous activist, Piya Macliing Malayao, and her difficult conversation with her grandmother, Petra Macliing. The study investigates how the process of the performer is informed by the concepts from performance ethnography, specifically, through archival research and immersive fieldwork activities. Ultimately, this study aims to answer the question: How does the performer translate the narrative of Piya Macliing Malayao into an embodied presentation on the theatrical stage through the play, Habi? The performer draws artistic choices from the knowledge informed by archival research and ethnographic fieldwork for a deeper understanding of the character and the culture, as well as personal experiences of being an Igorot in creating an embodied presentation of Piya Macliing Malayao. Thus, this study highlights the importance of immersion in producing a play that involves any cultural group. To experience the culture is something that must not be looked over as this allows the artist to accurately bring to the stage the cultural accuracy and nuances of a community. |
