OPENING RITUAL – The First People's Forum on Peace for Life formally opened with a cultural presentation on the essence of the elements of life by artists of the Kathara Dance Theatre Collective. Inspired by indigenous culture, Kathara's contemporary interpretation made use of objects representing the elements: the kulingtang (metal), a jar of water (water), a pot of fire (fire) and the lantoy flute (air). The choreography consisted of tribal steps fused with neo-ethnic floor movements. The song Gintong Uhay, a contemporary song in the tribal arrangement was sang to accompany the whole ritual. The thanksgiving song speaks of how beautiful our world is, and gives tribute to Earth and the Great Maker.
