Pananadem (Remembering)
** Thanks to La MaMa, CultureHub, and Howlround you can now watch our most recent production online!
Pananadem means “remembering” in the language of the Meranao people. It is a way of looking back across time, to gain inspiration and perspective from one’s ancestors. In this tale, old and new align, as a young group of refugees whose quest for inspiration leads them to a transformative encounter with displaced tradition-bearers who recall the legends of Derangen, the Meranao epic.
