A feast for the senses awaits — where movement, sound, and flavor come together in one unforgettable experience!Step into the forest and immerse yourself in the living traditions of the Cordillera with an interactive dance workshop and immersive theater featuring the "Cañao" performed by the Kabenguetan Dance Troupe and directed by Lynette Carantes-Bibal of the Ibaloi Indigenous Communities of Benguet.
Guided by elders and tradition bearers, you will:
Learn about the Cañao, a festival or a ceremony of the indigenous people of Northern Philippines. It is a socio-religious ritual where chickens, pigs and/or carabaos are butchered as a sacrifice and feasted on.
- Know the meaning and significance behind each dance movement
- Move to the hypnotic rhythms of solibao (drums) and gangsa (gongs), echoing through the trees
- Witness how pinikpikan, a ceremonial chicken stew, is prepared
- Take part in tapey (rice wine) making
- After the workshop, gather for a feast of authentic Cordillera cuisine prepared by Tinuno and the Ibaloi community
