About the Performance:
​Sayaw ng Pagitan (≈ Dance of Distance) (2022) is the debut video performance work of LA-based Filipino-American experimental project Xuvenir. Sayaw presents a series of collaged travel footage set to a soundtrack of field recordings and live gong and electronics improvisations, samples, and loops. These elements amount to a visual compression of space, place, and time as well as the marriage of ancient and modern sound technologies emerging in-tension, suspended on the cusp of legibility.

Xuvenir owes its existence to a questioning about our diasporic identities and, in the case of Sayaw, our relationship to the gangsa (gongs): an Indigenous ceremonial and celebratory instrument of the Philippines’ Mt. Province. With Sayaw, we consider the production of a speculative spatial and sonic imaginary by asking ourselves: If the Indigenous Igorot concept of antayutani (“we will be projected far”) signifies a transmission of gangsa frequencies across vast distances, what then would that signal sound like as received from afar? Furthermore, in the interval, or space (pagitan) between sender and receiver, how might the projected sound expand, contract, deform, fracture, or even erase itself during transit?
