Langgam Performance Troupe (LPT) opens its 11th year of independent performance-making with Within and Without End (WAWE), a meta-devised work that reflects on the craft of acting and performance.
A performance about performers within performers, WAWE commences a trilogy that explores one's relationship with the theater machine by embarking on the metaphysical nature and reality of performance. As an Open Rehearsal, audience members will witness a performer’s transformation, complete with actors’ warm-ups, improv exercises, exchanging of ideas, and run-throughs occasionally interrupted by the director and dramaturg.
WAWE also shapeshifts: not entirely loose, but open enough to arrive at different outcomes with each and every Open Rehearsal, further emphasising the inherent ephemerality of performance.
WAWE was developed over two years by Opaline Santos, Serena Magiliw, and the late Joel Garcia, who will be joining the performance through his journal. The performance is directed by Jenny Logico-Cruz with dramaturgy by Blonski Cruz, who are also LPT’s artistic director and company manager respectively.
WAWE will run on March 13 (8pm) and March 14 (3pm and 7pm), followed by a free Artist Talk on March 15 (1pm) at 99 Mahiyain corner Madasalin St. Sikatuna Village, Quezon City. Tickets are available for PHP 800 until March 6, and PHP 1000 afterwards
The audience is encouraged to register early as space is limited. The Open Rehearsal may require audience members to take off their shoes and move around the space accordingly with the guide of the creative team. Some aspects of the Open Rehearsal contain nudity.
Don't miss out on the latest shoppenings!
