Tanghalang Pilipino’s new musical, “Balag at Angud,” which runs until Sept. 16 at Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino, covers the art-making career of Luis Yee Jr., otherwise known as Junyee. Known for his protest art and his use of found objects, the now-75-year-old installation artist saw himself moving from one place to another, encountering resistance every which way as he sought to continue satisfying his insatiable urge to create.
The musical is written by Layeta Bucoy, with music composed and arranged by Dodjie Fernandez and Upeng Fernandez. Direction is by Audie Gemora, and set design is by Toym Imao.
