Talsikan

Pronunciation: tah-all-seek-ohn (Tagalog/Filipino). Translation: The leaps of a spark; sudden flight of splinters; an abrupt flight into the air.

This collaborative work questions why one feels the need to take flight and levitate. A lift of the limbs, resistance against the floor, the support of a hand, or perhaps the emotional surrender to the music is what may bring us one step closer to these desired heights – exploring the levels of how one figure abruptly emerges only to influence the rise and trials of those around it.
