A NIGHT OF WONDER: Philippine Ballet Theatre’s Sarimanok Lands in OregonPortland, OR — On Sunday, October 19, Oregon will be swept into a night of wonder as the renowned Philippine Ballet Theatre (PBT)—the award-winning premier ballet company of the Philippines—takes the stage at The Reser with Sarimanok, the centerpiece of their U.S. tour.
This breathtaking ballet transforms the stage into a mythical realm, where the legendary SariManok, a radiant bird of folklore, soars through dazzling landscapes. Audiences will be immersed in a feast for the senses, with intricate choreography, stunning costumes, and evocative melodies that celebrate the richness of Filipino heritage.
THREE CULTURAL EXPERIENCES, ONE UNFORGETTABLE EVENING
🧲Aside from PBT’s Sarimanok, guests will enjoy the:
🧲 Pinamulan Exhibit
An immersive showcase of Mindanao’s artistry, featuring live demonstrations by master weavers—known as “dream weavers”—who will share the delicate techniques behind their craft. Guests will engage directly with artisans, gaining deeper appreciation for the stories and traditions woven into each piece.
🧲 Fashion Exhibition
A curated display of visionary works by iconic Filipino designers, including Pitoy Moreno, Christian Espiritu, Ben Farrales, Ramon Valera, and Aureo Alonzo. Their creations blend tradition and innovation, honoring the diversity and elegance of Filipino fashion.
Together, these three experiences form a cultural trifecta—an evening of artistry, heritage, and pride.
