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.

About the artist
Bunny Cadag
Cadag is an artist creating at the nexus between craftwork, performance, and community work; within the tensions and transitions between theatre, as well as installation; and through the voice as a fundamental site of creative resistance and poetic reexistence. Her practice is anchored in indigenous gender diversity and contemporary gender equality and shared through a trans approach to healing and song alongside which she nurtures a decolonial composure toward folklore and tradition.
