About Anito - Sydney Festival 2025

For early Filipinos, like many still today, it is believed that a life force or soul inhabits all entities, both animate and inanimate. These spirits are called Anitos

Co-created by the multi-talented Justin Talplacido Shoulder (The Glitter Militia, Club Ate), ANITO combines collective craft, puppetry, dance and experimental electronic music to reimagine these myths and stories for the now. It’s a work rooted in Sydney’s underground queer and diasporic club scenes.

The collective behind ANITO create a “Queer Filipino Future Folkloric space of storytelling” that centres the importance of nature spirits, intuiting with them as guides towards imagining possible parallel futures. 

Performers Shoulder and Eugene Choi transform into animal-human-plant-machine hybrids. In this world of sheer terror and tremendous beauty, they interrogate colonial wrongdoings and queer ancestral mythologies. 

5 stars “An awe-inspiring work… An exemplar of the power of dance and art to deconstruct outdated and dangerous colonial and binary frameworks. Yet calling the performance simply a dance piece would be reductive. This is so much more.” – ArtsHub 

“Justin Shoulder’s ANITO was an astonishing piece of illusionistic visual theatre” –The Age

“This groundbreaking production challenges perceptions, ignites the imagination, and honours its cultural roots while forging new narratives for the future.” – Dance Life Australia
