traipse through the elemental landscape of postcolonial, postmodern,
war-stricken environmentally ravaged Mindanao. Weaving folklore in New Theatre
based on the Mindanao Indarapatra epic, the play deconstructs the story of two
brothers who defend the land against darkness. Interspersed in the narrative are
the flood legends. Images of contemporary representations of darkness (war,
hunger, evacuation, and environmental destruction) are shaped through digital
images, puppetry, masks, music, chants, chorus, and poetry. The play had its
World Premiere as Philippine entry in the UNESCO-International Theatre Institute
31st Theatre Olympics of the Nations in Manila.
