Escamillan, a celebrated Canadian-Filipinx choreographer, will unveil his new work on June 19 and 20 as part of the Queer Arts Festival.
The Vancouver Queer Film Festival will present Starwalker, which revolves around an Indigiqueer, Two-Spirit callboy named Star.
菲律賓裔加拿大編舞家 Ralph Escamillan 意識到舞蹈是一種短暫的藝術形式。但它的短暫性通常不會反映在服裝上，服裝會根據檔期需求被反覆使用。因此，身為FakeKnot藝術總監的他決定創作《Croquis》這個獨舞作品，本作中的服裝與演出本身一樣短暫。
He will perform Croquis at the Firehall Arts Centre Courtyard on Tuesday (June 18) and Wednesday (June 19) as part of Dancing on the Edge.
Escamillan is the inaugural recipient, and it follows the dazzling world premiere of PIÑA at the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.
舞蹈表演开始时，一群穿着蕾丝般的凤梨纤维布的「higantes」（巨人）登场，带出了菲律宾人宽宏大量的精神，更突显了布料的特质，实在是适合不过。当观众从透明的布料窥探巨人的身驱，经重新编排的四对方阵舞成为了反思和提出问题的邀请。凤梨纤维布是由凤梨叶（特别是西班牙红凤梨）天然纤维编织而成的菲律宾布料。
