traditionalists suite |
The Traditionalist tribal groups of the Philippines, located mainly in the southern regions, continue to live as their ancestors, their rituals and celebrations similar to those performed in ancient times. Their dances combine grace and vigor, often reflecting their rich natural environment. In these Traditionalist rites, dancers imitate the graceful movements of the wildlife around them, including birds and fish. These rites are also expressions of the many milestones in life: birth, courtship, and even death. |
