becoming ghosts
This is a horror dance — a push and pull of pain and pleasure, mutating into something non-human, beyond human, or even godly... It pays homage and surrenders to the supernatural, drawing influence from creatures in Filipino folklore such as Aswang, as well as iconic psychological thriller and horror films such as Suspiria and The Grudge.
