CCP multi-arts virtual festival celebrates the EDSA spirit
Two years into the pandemic, the CCP Pasinaya Open House Festival continues on the online platform from Feb. 26 to 27 with the theme Sana All Lumilikha, Lumalaya.
Celebrating the 36th anniversary of EDSA People Power, Pasinaya 2022 embodies the spirit of EDSA and demonstrates the power of arts in social transformation and empowerment.
Pasinaya 2022 is a two-day virtual event that will showcase various activities in the performing arts, literary arts, visual arts, and film and broadcast arts. It will feature an exhibit, a forum, a digital timeline and the lighting of the CCP façade.
The Festival will also be highlighted by special video premieres including Radyo Malaya: Soundbites of a Revolution by Pumapodcast, a radio drama re-enactment of the events during the EDSA Revolution in 10 bite-sized episodes, and EDSA Book Videoke, an animation of the counting book for children entitled EDSA.
Pagsamo: Gabay at Pagbabago, presented by Kaisa sa Sining-Luzon Network, is a prayer for guidance and change. Pagsamo aims to awaken the minds and hearts of viewers about the importance of the Malolos Congress, the freedom fought for in 1898, and the lessons from the EDSA People Power uprising.
