Ancient Filipino ritual funerary gold objects were melted down by the Spanish colonisers and moulded into their crucifixes. ANITO speculates a Future Folklore where this raw material is remoulded into new forms, both sacred and profane.
Megafauna dance deep time. A spectre appears charting the trajectory of humanity and setting it in a reverse spiral. Honouring their roots in Sydney’s underground queer and diasporic club scenes, the collective behind ANITO build on their shared histories of costume, puppetry, drag, dance, and experimental electronic music to re-imagine myths and stories for the now.
Presented with Arts House as part of RISING this June. Tickets on sale now: bit.ly/3WeoWrq
