Everything Has Disappeared | Opening Night

Worldwide, the Filipino diaspora is the vital engine that powers the beauty, health and promise of our delicate, globally interconnected society.

Everything Has Disappeared celebrates and explores the very unique relationship the Filipino diaspora has to the global economy: they are everywhere and deeply involved in our lives as central threads in a tapestry that defines human dignity itself. Filipinos are domestic workers in Angola, they staff the oil fields of Libya, with hundreds of thousands working as nannies in Hong Kong. They sing on the stages of remote provinces in China and help run hotels in the Middle East. A quarter of the world’s seafarers are Filipino, comprising 70% of workers on Japanese boats.

If Filipinos disappear, everything disappears.
