About

Two distinct performers, one pedestal fan and a whole lot of RICE—Bahala/o unpacks the complexities and layered realities of living between cultures.

 

Set in a world of rice and ritual, where identity gets messy, the work merges bold movement, diasporic storytelling and striking imagery, inviting you to be the final guest to its recipe.

 

This genre-defying performance beckons audiences to sit in the mess, embrace the dualities of existence and find power in saying ‘Bahala Na’ (“whatever happens, happens”).
