New original plays, bigger audiences, a tighter community, more regional shows in the spotlight
Gantimpala Theater Foundation Inc. proudly presents its 38th season opening production, Francisco Balagtasâ âFlorante at Lauraââ one of the most...
Artist Playground is âa laboratory, a training ground. It is an art company [where] we can take our time to perfect a production, unlike in mainstream theaterâ
The message was ominous, the tone ruthless, but the one speaking it left nothing ambiguous. To paraphrase in English: âKill every last man who does not join us: Spanish, mestizo, Chinese, Filipino. Do not make any distinction. Cowardly fathers will only breed whining sons. The race must be made pure.â
Gantimpala Theater Foundation is once again presenting âEl Filibusterismo,â Rizalâs second novel as adapted to the stage by playwright Jomar Fleras and directed by Jose Jeffrey Camañag.
Fresh from his critically-acclaimed performance as the sublime paralytic in âAng Huling Lagda ni Apolinario Mabini,â Roeder Camañag shall once again reprise his role in Gantimapala Theaterâs âEl Filibusterismoâ.
Roeder Camañag caps his 27th year in the performing arts by playing the titular character in Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinasâ ongoing production of âAng Huling Lagda ni Apolinario Mabini.â
The poignantly silent or subdued moments in Dulaang UPâs âCollectionâ are what hit you like a fist to the stomach, or make that sense of disquiet creep under your skin. Probably because they are few and far between, amidst endless scenes of bragging auctioneers, swaggering fashionistas, the raving show-biz crowd and half-a-dozen big players who just want to outshout everyone else.
