THE DANCE FLOOR WILL HEAL YOU 

In this necessary ritual toward liberation, Filipino American dancer and choreographer JAY CARLON combines performance and queer nightlife for a one-night-only immersive club experience in Los Angeles. Created in collaboration with a coalition of experimental AAPI creatives, including sound artist MICAELA TOBIN (WHITE BOY SCREAM), Los Angeles nightlife collectives QNA and SEND NOODZ, and rebel Filipiniana fashion house VINTA GALLERY, WAKE excavates identity, ancestry, and the complexities of the diaspora. This ritual performance provides communities born in the wake of the U.S. empire an opportunity to grieve, heal, and find solace in the collective.
