Production Details

Locus of Control

Locus of Control explores the complicated, sometimes fragmented experience of the Filipinx-American background and identity. As a companion piece to Jason Bayani's second collection of poems, Locus (Omnidawn Publishing 2019), the show features selections from the book and draws inspiration from the mixing and layering of musical fragments in DJ culture, setting Bayani behind a DJ booth where he seamlessly moves between poetry, storytelling, music, and video taking the audience through his family’s history of migration viewed through both a historic and intensely personal lens.
