Olbrich presents SIRENA: A multi-media project created by Leslie Damaso, Ben Ferris, Mike Koszewski and Jason Kutz, featuring Jon Irabagon, Janice Lee and Jose Guzman. SIRENA blends a personal story, family secrets, a mythic love triangle ending in the beginning of a nation, the displacement of its people, an individual’s perspective of belonging and a spectacular celebration of community. The music combines traditional Filipino kundiman songs, kulintang, along with jazz and classical influences.
