vibrant. raw. human.
Mari Dance is a dance theater company committed to making contemporary dance a key player in the continuous development of the Performing Arts in the Philippines through the creation of original, story-driven works that connect with today’s audiences.
The highly-acclaimed contemporary dance theater production choreographed by JM Cabling and directed by Mikko Angeles returns to breaking the boundaries of the stage this coming May 2026.
brings together the collective stories of contemporary dance artists—dancers, choreographers, and the people working behind the scenes of every production.
These narratives reveal the often-hidden struggles of an artist: a choreographer wrestles with frustration, a dancer fighting for their role, a search for one’s true voice, and relationships tested under pressure.
The show connects the life of an artist to the audience’s own journeys, asking the essential question:
"Why do we continue
to fight for our dreams, despite the setbacks?"
