Due to community requests, we will be live streaming today’s presentation of Palin-awa.

Palin-awa (Recall of One’s Spirit to the Community)

Parangal presents our upcoming production, Palin-awa, in collaboration with Jenny Bawer Young, Kalinga Culture Bearer. Kalinga Palin-awa is a ritual that recalls one’s spirit back to the community, creating a spiritual balance when a person or community has experienced extreme joy or sadness.

Palin-awa will be the first stage production inspired by the ritual to premiere in the U.S., here in the San Francisco Bay Area! In collaboration with the Bawer family in Lubuagan, Kalinga, and performed alongside Jenny Bawer Young, Kalinga Culture Bearer, the show will also premiere the new designs and patterns of Kalinga attires.

All Online Guests Will Experience:

Kalinga Attire Showcase - An attire presentation featuring both traditional garments and newer designs, highlighting the evolution of Kalinga identity

Palin-awa Live Performance - A first-of-its-kind stage production, inspired by the Palin-awa ritual and brought to life through music, movement, and storytelling
