UBE CASSAVA is a medley of two beloved Filipino delicacies: ube (purple yam) and cassava (tapioca). Known for its vibrant color and unique flavor, this dessert has quickly become a globally acclaimed favorite amongst kababayan and foreigners alike.
But little do people know that cassava can be lethal if prepared incorrectly.
Rife with introspection, longing, and resilience, Mariella Clarisse concocts a multifaceted narrative of what the coming-of-age experience looks like from a (queer) immigrant perspective.
“The identity of the Filipino today is of a person asking what is his identity.” - Nick Joaquín, National Artist of the Philippines
