We invite you all to The Singer, a work-in-progress performance by transfeminine, multi-disciplinary artist Bunny Cadag, on 19 July 2025, Saturday, from 3 to 6 PM.
The Singer stitches and combines elements of theater, vocal music, craft, and movement. The work meditates and reflects on the transbody as a sanctuary of feminine predicament and queer recollection, which, through stitch and song, metamorphoses into the performer’s radical premise for transfeminine storytelling: a woman sewing her pain is the same woman who sings for her freedom. As The Singer herself, Cadag intones the intergenerational trauma that weaves feminine truths together while also recounting genealogies of healing embodied in her repertoire of feminine art-making.
The project is organized by the UP Vargas Museum with the support from the Goethe-Institut Philippines under its Performance Ecologies initiative, with Micah Pinto as production manager, Jaya Jacobo and Rasa Alksnyte as dramaturgs, and sound design by Teresa Barrozo.

Bunny Cadag
Cadag ist eine Künstlerin, die an der Schnittstelle zwischen Kunsthandwerk, Performance und Community-Arbeit kreiert, das Spannungsfeld und die Grenzen zwischen Theater und Installation erforscht, und die Stimme als grundlegenden Ort des kreativen Widerstands und der poetischen Re-Existenz anerkennt. Ihre Praxis ist in der indigenen Geschlechtervielfalt und der zeitgenössischen Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter verankert und wird durch einen Trans-Ansatz für Heilung und Gesang geteilt, während sie eine dekoloniale Haltung gegenüber Folklore und Tradition pflegt.
