The Uh Oh Trio presents a multimedia performance in response to Long Kwento

December 3 & 4
3pm - 6pm, performance
12pm - 6pm, sound and video projection

Wattis Institute
The Uh Oh Trio creates Maraming: a multi media response of sound, projection and dance to the stories, characters, and images within Maia Cruz Palileo's Long Kwento. Ukulele, Bells, Sungka shells, and popular early 20th century Filipina song styles are expanded, repeated, transformed, and re-imagined into an electronic ambient soundscape by Loren Kiyoshi Dempster. Film projections invoke an aesthetics of busog. Performers Dahlia Nayar and Margaret Sunghe Paek question scripted movements in the gallery, responding to Long Kwento’s provocations to unpack, to remember, to dream, to play.

The Uh Oh Trio is a collaborative project between Loren Kiyoshi Dempster, Margaret Sunghe Paek and Dahlia Nayar.
