and the IPAG CREATIVE COLLECTIVE




Entertaining and colorful stories adapted from the rich folklore of Southern Philippines performed in dance, music, and drama. Using ethnic-inspired motifs and movements of the signature IPAG Dance Theater, the production narrates tales of love, folk legends, the conflicts of tradition and modernity, the concern for the environment, and the comic follies of the folk. 

Tales is the IPAG International production, a collection of over 20 dance-music-drama vignettes that have dazzled foreign audiences in the U.S., Hawaii, Asia and Europe. It had its international debut as Philippine representative in the 1994 Singapore Festival of the Arts, and represented the country in triumphant 1996-98, 2001-2002 performances in the Netherlands, Austria, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, South Korea (for the World Cup), Taiwan, and Monaco (for a command performance for Prince Albert). Its most recent international stint was its celebration of thePhilippine Centennial in Hawaii and the U.S. mainland in July to October 2006.Tales has performed to large audiences in extensive national tours after its premiere for the 1992 National Theater Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. It is perhaps the country's most toured dance-music production that has reached hundreds and thousands of audiences around the archipelago.

Tatlo sa Isa (Three peoples in One Island) is the sequel to the Talessaga.
