PHSA MAQUILING BALLET

"BALIKHAAN" is an old Tagalog term, which means regeneration. It is rebirth or restoration through the internal processes of a body or system. It refers to the self-healing capacity of humans, the faculty to recover from disturbances, and the ability to bounce back to attain homeostasis.

​

In a figurative sense, it is the innate restorative capacities of the physical body. Spiritually, it is the transformation, renovation, and conversion of a person into someone with a renewed mind.

​

Sociologically, it is the process of tackling the social problems that lead to deprivation, such as crime, drugs, poverty, social exclusion, and other issues experiences by communities.

​

In the grand recital, Jarmonya Maquiling Ballet aims to promote awareness through contemporary dances of the melees and socio-political issues faced particularly by one of the indigenous peoples, who may have been less noticed than other IP's, the B'laans. Such renewal of mind is hoped to create a feeling of being quickened to restitute all things for the new generations to come.
