SuperWoman KTV

A contemporary choreographer and dancer Eisa Jocson presents The Filipino Superwoman Band, an ensemble who perform a choreographed routine to the song ‘Superwoman’. The song, originally sung by an American singer Karyn White, became a hit when the Filipino singer Janine Desidario re-released it with a new title ‘Hindi Ako si Darna (I am not a superwoman),’ telling the story of female affective labor and reflecting the struggles of Filipino migrant workers. Jogging the memory of the KTV phenomenon, the choreography of the female performers unpacks the song’s discussion of women and their affective labor in modular and adaptive aesthetic movements.
