A new children’s play with music and puppetry, featuring creatures inspired by Philippine folklore. The young girl Laia had always only known one thing: she and her family would wake up every day at the crack of dawn to toil in the barren fields of Dakila, hoping the soil would bring harvest one day. This all changes when Laia wakes up from a dream where the goddess, Iná, sings her songs from the underworld. As Laia tries to go back to her normal life, echoes of the dream reverberate, allowing Laia to remember how the desolate world of Dakila that she has grown accustomed to has not always been what it was.* This event is recurring
