Brown
Madonna: Apparition

Ea Torrado's participatory performance examines Marian devotion, maternal sacrifice, colonial inheritance, gender, migration and care through embodied practice, spoken word and ritual. Drawing on her history as the daughter of a Filipina overseas worker in Japan for 25 years, Torrado traces maternal sacrifice, transnational labor and the image of the Virgin Mary in Filipino consciousness. Guided breath, vocalization and collective utterance explore how devotion and self-sacrifice are inscribed in the body and how they might be disrupted and queered. The encounter culminates in the apparition of Brown Madonna through Kween MAMU B, Torrado's irreverent alter ego, whose original rap reclaims devotion, confronts colonial legacies and celebrates the emancipatory potential of the Filipina body. Admission is HKD150; early bird admission is 20% off until 13 November 2026. Admission includes one alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink. Tickets are available on Eventbrite. The performance takes place at 1F Kino 電影院.
