A new children’s play with music and puppetry, featuring creatures inspired by Philippine folklore.
The young girl Laia had always only known one thing: she and her family would wake up every day at the crack of dawn to toil in the barren fields of Dakila, hoping the soil would bring harvest one day. This all changes when Laia wakes up from a dream where the goddess, Iná, sings her songs from the underworld. As Laia tries to go back to her normal life, echoes of the dream reverberate, allowing Laia to remember how the desolate world of Dakila that she has grown accustomed to has not always been what it was.

Isang palabas-pambata na may mga awit, papet at mga nilalang hango sa mga kwentumbayan ng Pilipinas.
Isa lamang ang dating alam ng batang si Laia: siya at ang kanyang pamilya ay gumigising bago ang bukang-liwayway upang magtrabaho sa uhaw na lupa ng Dakila, at sila’y naghahangad na ito’y makapagbibigay-bunga balang araw.
Nagbago ang lahat nang magising si Laia mula sa isang panaginip kung saan narinig niya ang diyosang si Ináng kumakanta ng mga awit mula sa kabilang mundo. Pagkatapos nito ay hindi na makabalik si Laia sa kanyang dating buhay, ‘pagkat hindi malimot ni Laia ang mga ugong ng mga awit ni Iná, at unti-unti niyang napagtantong ang nakilala niyang kapanglawan ng Dakila ay maaaring mabago.
