About
Founded by dance artist Madge Reyes in 2020, FIFTH WALL is the Philippines’ pioneering international movement platform dedicated to the presentation of dance through multidisciplinary experimentation. Its mission is to hold space for movement that is crafted for the unconventional stage – meeting and bridging gaps through performance, film, exhibition, discussion, and more through its annual gathering, FIFTH WALL FEST.
The "fifth wall" is the imaginary barrier that guests pass once they exit a venue after a cultural experience, to return to their everyday lives. With this namesake in mind, FIFTH WALL revolves around the idea of engaging movement-minded individuals to go beyond the fifth wall for a boundless celebration of dance from all angles®.

FIFTH WALL Edition V was a house party of sorts, where movement meets meaning.
“I think this festival finds strength in that... anything and everything ‘dance’, we love doing.”
"... a celebration of the body as home—not just as a place but as a feeling that exists within and between us."
"The line between performer and spectator will be blurred."
"FIFTH WALL FEST returns for its much-anticipated hybrid edition."
"Dance and cinema come together in sensual film festival."
"Is the future of PH dance on film?"
"... a vehicle to enhance the local arts and culture scene in spite of the pandemic. It aims to bring performances outside of the traditional theater venue, and depict the ephemeral nature of movement in any setting."
