In the organizer's words:

Choreographer and dancer Aaron Kaiser Garcia was trained in various forms of Filipino folk dance at the famous Philippine High School for the Arts. In an extraordinary lecture performance, he now subjects these dances to a revision - precisely, cleverly and with subtle humor. How do inventions become traditions? What happens when movements no longer belong to us? When our gestures are choreographed to represent someone else's interpretation and perception of us? Garcia exposes the colonial layers, the political and economic power structures and processes of institutionalization that are inscribed in dance practices and tell of oppression, exploitation, dispossession and erasure. In doing so, the choreographer reverses existing rules. He attempts to remove the layers of commercial consumption that have shaped and envelop the dancing body, with the aim of reclaiming this stolen "cultural asset".
