Pearls
Three Filipino women at different stages of their trans-ness, create contemporary rituals for queer bodies. They want to decolonise themselves and question the heteronormative cultural and historical ideologies once implemented by the West. Before that, thinking about identity in pre-colonial Philippines was much more fluid and non-binary. Pearls wants to be a healing ritual but to heal, the performers must first acknowledge all the pain and trauma. They transform those very painful and dark stories into something beautiful, just like pearls formed as a defence mechanism in shellfish. Each time, they cover their own abrasive particles with a shiny coating, until a pearl emerges.
