HuniNay: Songs of Mothers & Cradles
Date (Day) Time
Venue
HuniNay: Songs of Mothers & Cradles is a dance-drama musical repertoire that marries theater and choral expressions. Inspired by CCP’s Himig Himbing: Mga Heleng Atin, this 2-act concert delves into the core of motherhood, the power of lullabies, the essential role of women in society, and the intimate bond between parent and child. It masterfully intertwines music, dance, and theater to evoke deep emotions and timeless traditions passed through generations. The production features a historical collaboration between two of the longest-known and most established performing arts companies in MSU-IIT, Iligan City, if not the world—MSU IIT IPAG and Octava, dubbed the IPAGTava.
