Sara Porkalob’s Dragon Lady & Dragon Mama
PERFORMED AT NORDO’S CULINARIUM, JANUARY 26 - MARCH 6, 2022
The Story
Nordo opens 2022 with two productions by award-winning artist and Seattle luminary Sara Porkalob, Dragon Lady & Dragon Mama - the first two chapters of her three-part Dragon Cycle.
Unlike Nordo’s signature immersive events, Dragon Lady and Dragon Mama will not include a meal service during the show. Instead, patrons have the choice to upgrade their experience for a pre-show prix fixe dinner of Filipino cuisine, created by The New York Times restaurant list for 2021, Chef Aaron Verzosa of Archipelago. Dinner will be served in Nordo’s second venue, The Knife Room, adjacent to The Culinarium. Beverages will be available pre-show and at intermission.
