“SINING KAMBAYOKA”
Apat na dekada na ang nakalipas Dayuhang maskara na nakakubabaw
Nang pagtagpuin ang ating mga landas Sa litong anyo ng drama sa Mindanao
Sa lumang kultura’t limot na palabas Ating hinubad at saka inilitaw
Na ating nilinang kayat di kumupas. Ang tunay na mukhang sa dula’y tatanglaw

Suhi
Suhi is a Visayan term for breech delivery. It is
said that those born “suhi” either possess healing
power or a great misfortune in life. We believe that
Steven made this piece for us to open our minds that
we don’t have to let someone suffer just because he
or she born in a different way. We should always
appreciate everyone’s imperfection because
imperfection is one of the factor that make us a true
individual.
