The Encounters (Mga Salubong)
About
A young Filipino woman seeks to discover more about her roots through the folklore told to her by her ailing grandmother. Reality is blended with magic and mythology as the grandmother narrates her history, and the audience is left to contemplate which parts are memory and which parts are merely myth. The Encounters (Mga Salubong) is a performance-driven piece of physical theatre that merges folklore with contemporary themes, using a dynamic monodrama structure that investigates identity, political history, migration, and nationhood through the lens of folklore.Location
