I've never seen our story on stage.

And to be able to see that every night with such talented actors and actresses.

It's our history.

It's our people on that stage.

I am a child of the Philippines.

My name is Ashitaka Porter, and I am an audience wrangler at "Here Lies Love".

Please don't!

Essentially, if you're doing the floor standing experience, the platforms move around you.

Our job is to move people out of the way so they're not getting hit by the platforms and also so we're not getting hit by the platforms.

I essentially call us the air traffic control, but for people.

They call it immersive theater and they're not lying about it.

As soon as you enter the theater you're just flooded with these pink and purple lights, and then you go on to the dance floor and we have projections and lights and a disco ball.

You see us in our bright pink jumpsuits and you're like, What the heck have I just walked into?

You've walked into the most incredible, fantastical world you've ever been to.

I haven't seen him in eleven days First of all, Here Lies Love is an all Filipino production.

The entire cast is Filipino.

And it talks about the history of the Marcos administration in the Philippines, until the People Power Revolution that happened in the 1970s and 1980s.

Who's gonna fold and Who's got a secret and who's feeling bold?

It's a It's an incredible story about my family's history that honestly, I didn't know about because I'm the Filipino American but I was born here.

And finally seeing the show and getting the context of all of that history is absolutely insane and wonderful.

Could be a perfect hand We've had so many people come from all over the world just to see this story because it needs to be told.

And it's just just amazing.

I love working on it.

Could be a perfect hand What you see on stage is just moving platforms, and then you see actors going in and out of different places around the stage.

But what you don't see is backstage wigs, hair and makeup, costumes, there are sprinting around the perimeter of the theater to make sure everyone's in costume, to make sure that the props and everything are set.

We have literal moving pieces that are moved by hand, by our stage by our stage hands.

And so all of us are working just like the entire time, completely turned on and ready to go, ready for anything to happen.

And I think that's why we're such a strong team.

The Broadway community seems large, but it's actually really small and tight knit.

When I got the job, I realized, wow, like I am working on Broadway.

I feel like I have to keep reminding myself that because I'm like, That's a dream I never thought I would be able to achieve so early in my life right now.

But I am working on Broadway and it's the most beautiful thing.

I've created friends, we've had fun little group parties, karaoke moments.

It's really, really cool to be part of that community.

I know that when my number's up The audience responds really, really well to the show.

People always leave having a great experience, leaving with joy and it's great for us because we're part of that experience.

We want audiences to leave feeling like they were seen, feeling like they were taken care of because that's my job.

My job is to make people feel safe and taken care of and loved.

I mean, Here Lies Love, like that's what we got to do.

We are Broadway.
