This novel spanning seven decades documents the life of Tomas Franco "Cocoy" Sabater and his ascent to becoming one of the Philippines's most callous vigilante assassins. Punctuated by news clippings from different generations, essays and accounts from a perceptive journalist, internal monologues, a short children's story from a failed novelist, and a lingering homage to ballet and kundiman, the story progresses in a non-linear fashion, conscientiously dissecting Sabater's tumultuous pursuit of reprisal as he tries to fix his disintegrating relationship with his dying wife and growing daughter. At Night We Are Dancers is a story of love and family amidst ever-changing political milieu, as well as understanding existence and purpose, but, above all, embracing redemption in its countless forms.
