“The Singer” sutures theatre, vocal music, craft and movement. The work ruminates on the trans body as sanctuary of feminine predicament and queer remembrance, which, through stitch and song, metamorphose into the performer’s radical transfeminine storytelling premise: the woman who sews her pain is the same woman who sings her freedom.
Bunny Cadag (b.1991, she/they) is a Filipino transfeminine multi-disciplinary artist, whose works are in the intersections and transitions of theater, film, performance, and installation arts. Her research is focused on pre-colonial gender plurality, traditional singing rituals, healing practices, and gender equality. Her performances are often participatory and community-based, amplifying voices of marginalized groups within the wider community while thoughtfully navigating defamiliarized shapes and spaces with empathy and generosity.
