Inspired by the reality of families torn apart by seas, structures, and policies, this new work researches themes of displacement, captivity, separation, and detachment. Titled after the former national bird of the Philippines, Maya investigates the impossibility of physical togetherness, exploring the anguish, longing for community, and instinct for self-preservation that arise in response to this harsh reality.
Kira Fargas is a queer, first-generation Filipina American movement artist and choreographer. Raised in the Bay Area, she trained at the Westlake School for the Performing Arts and earned her BFA in Dance from the University of Arizona in 2017. Kira is a performer and collaborator with UNA Productions (Chuck Wilt), EIGHT/MOVES (Mia Chong), and Detour Productions (Eric Garcia and Kat Gorospe Cole), and has collaborated with artists and performed works by New Dialect (Banning Bouldin), Rosie Herrera, Alex Ketley, Ariel Freedman, KT Nelson, Keerati Jinakunwiphat, Rena Butler, among others. She co-directs the Contemporary Training Program at Westlake School for the Performing Arts alongside Hadassah Perry and is deeply passionate about advancing the field with the next generation of artists.
Maya is generously supported by collaborators Mahalaya Tintiangco-Cubales, Jonacy Montero, and Juniper Dorado.

Land Acknowledgement

We recognize that regenerative land management is not new, but is a continuation of practices from Native cultures and from our own ancestors. It is our responsibility to steward the land with care, as our elders did before us.
