Kapwa Collective presents the Canadian premiere of “The Journey of a Brown Girl”, an Experimental Theatre Movement from New York, for 2 SHOWS ONLY on August 28 & 29 at Toronto’s historic Factory Theatre.

Created, produced and directed by artist and activist, Jana Lynne Umipig, this inspired and visionary performance harnesses the power of narrative and storytelling to engage audiences in deep reflection around the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit through the lens of the Filipina.

The Journey of a Brown Girl calls out and breaks down ill-representations of Filipinas and movingly reminds audiences of their true selves - powerful leaders, healers, visionaries, teachers and warriors of culture and communities. The performance’s mystical movements and mesmeric malongs enliven and animate the strength of these narratives.

Having performed throughout their homebase of New York and in California, this story speaks to diverse communities on empowerment of self and community. We welcome all to experience The Journey of a Brown Girl.
