Celebrating Filipino-American History Month HELOBUNG:Tales, Tunes, and Threads of the Tbolis

October 28, 2023 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Helobung, Tbolis culture

Preserving Tboli culture and providing a livelihood for their community in the biodiverse lands of the southern Philippines, Helobung (“endless joy”) is a wellspring and tradition bearer.  Performed by five dancers and musicians, Helobung’s “Tales, Tunes, and Threads of the Tbolis” introduces and shares this people’s cultural roots and signifiers – the living traditions that continue to sustain contemporary Tbolis today.

Helobung is part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with funding provided by the U.S. Government, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations. General management is provided by Lisa Booth Management. Inc.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required.
