‘Ang Panaginip’: You fuel our passion, lift our artistry, and help us extend the inspiring power of ballet
Audiences were transported into a world of color, movement, and music, where tradition met innovation.
A love letter to Philippine heritage was brought to life through a neo-ballet that intertwined movement with the vibrant beauty of the fabrics of our culture. Ballet Philippines presented a fresh, celebratory production — one that delighted the senses, uplifted the spirit and reimagined Filipino dance with a modern, visually captivating flair.
“Tonight, we celebrate the Filipina — one who dares to dream without limits, boldly defies expectations, and rewrites her happy endings,” said Ballet Philippines president Kathleen Liechtenstein in her speech during the gala. Through an original Filipiniana ballet, Ang Panaginip paid tribute to our heritage, with a libretto by Mawi de Ocampo, music by Glenn Aquias, Filipiniana costumes by Jor-el Espina and an AI-driven set design and choreography by artistic director Misha Martynyuk.
