2026 ADAM: Opening Performance "La XXX Punk II: Betel Nut Green"

Good day, everyone. 

I am Fangas Nayaw, it’s a great pleasure to meet you all here. 
What we bring to you today, is the second part of La XXX Punk, titled Betel Nut Green.

Every part of the La XXX Punk series starts with a manifesto. This is because the series is our search to think about how indigenous dance can be in the future. It will be different, and must be different because we are fed up with how popular imagination of the indigenous dance is limited to certain selected highlights and images. 

So here we go. 

MANIFESTO 

The vivid underneath is quietly disappearing.
The land is hill green, tree green.
The green seen in the park or on the green screen. 

1. The non-natural is part of life. 
2. Climax is illusionary. 
3. Tradition is individual. 
4. Effortlessness is misleading. 
5. Bound flow movement releases the body. 
6. An aging body holds experience. 
7. Homogeneity is a myth. 
8. Culture lies in daily life.
9. Disappearance happens quietly. 
10. Glitch is a gift.
