Erehwon Center for the Arts has collaborated anew with the Bayanihan National Dance Company to feature, for Philippine audiences, the talented dancers of the Ryu Dance Company of the Republic of Korea and the Folk Group Zbojnicek of Poland, under the ambit of the 17th Fiesta Folkloriada. This event inaugurated the newly transformed outdoor performance stage of the Center.
This is the second time that Ryu dancers have performed at Erehwon. The first time was in 2019. The event also featured a rare look at Polish dancers, which attracted no less than Polish charge d’affairs Anna Krzak and Consul Monika Koncyzk, as well as members of the religious organizations from Poland and members of its community.
Theater performers Greg de Leon and Emlyn Olfindo-Santos hosted the event and entertained with song numbers.
The event ended with an exchange of gifts between Erehwon Art Foundation president Jesus Varela and Bayanihan Executive Director Marielle Benitez-Javellana, and with representativees of the two dance companies.
