IBALONG
(The Musical)
directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio
In
the midst of a great war between mortals and monsters, a serpentine creature
falls for a man, leading to the birth of a new civilization.
Tanghalang
Pilipino caps its 26th season with a dance-theatre musical interpretation of
the Bicolano epic, “Ibalon,” adapted for the stage by prolific playwright Rody
Vera and directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio with Carol Bello’s musical direction, and
Alden Lugnasin’s choreography.
Entitled
after Legazpi City’s week-long festivity, “Ibalong,” the musical tells the
story of Handyong and his warriors who come to Bicol – formerly known as Ibalon
– and wage war against beasts and monsters pillaging the land’s natural wealth.
Handyong mightily battles creatures bearing a solitary eye and three throats,
several winged sharks, and wild carabaos.
In
introducing civilization to the barbaric land, Handyong matches wit and might
with the scheming snake, Oryol. A master of deceit, Oryol disguises herself
into a sweet, young lady in order to seduce Handyong. But not to be outwitted,
Handyong eventually makes Oryol fall in love with him.
Their
love story – between a warrior and a monster – defines the greatness of Bicol
as it explores an individual’s capacity for good and evil, and a land’s history
marked by progress and destruction.
Using
elaborate costumes, energetic fight choreography, and haunting music,
Tanghalang Pilipino promises audiences of all ages an enthralling theatre
experience rarely seen in original Filipino theatre.
