WALANG SUGAT
After
celebrating their silver anniversary season last year, Tanghalang Pilipino
returns and centers on Truth and Consequence for the company’s 26th Season.
The resident drama company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines,
TP presents four productions Walang Sugat, Walang Kukurap, Stageshow, and
Ibalong that tackle human behavior and relationships that lead towards social transformation.
A
press conference presenting the 26th season lineup was recently held
at the National Commission on Culture and the Arts. This event was attended by
Tanghalang Pilipino’s Artistic Director Nanding Josef, director Carlos
Siguion-Reyna, some of the cast members of Walang Sugat, and also some members
of the TP Actors Company.
During
the press conference, Nanding Josef stressed once again how local theater
companies are in need of not just only the support of the government, but also
the support of private corporations, the media and the general public as well.
It’s sad to see that local talent and productions, exceptional and awesome as
they are, tend to get overlooked in favor of foreign artists and shows. And in
a surprising turn, people who once scoffed at local productions usually have a
change of heart once they get to experience how brilliant local productions
are.

Walang
Sugat is Tanghalang Pilipino’s opening salvo for their 26th Season
starting this August 9 up to August
26, 2012 at the Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater).
Written by Severino Reyes, this sarswela focuses on the love story between
Julia and Tenyong amidst the revolutionary period when the control of the Philippines
is transferred from the Spaniards to the Americans.
This
production is the first foray of acclaimed film director Carlos Siguion-Reyna
to the realm of the stage. He will be joined by theater veterans like his niece
Cris Villonco playing the role of Julia. Antonio Ferrer and Noel Rayos
alternates as Tenyong, Julia’s love interest. Other cast members are Bodjie
Pascua and Lou Veloso alternating the role of Tadeo, Red Nuestro and Jonathan
Tadioan alternating as Lukas. Jenny Villegas and Jean Judith Javier alternate
as Monica. Rounding up the main cast are Gino Ramirez as Miguel, Jelson

Cris
Villonco, whom I’ve seen numerous times during the past year (and I am not complaining),
will be playing Julia an ingénue role pushed to the limits as the character gets more
mischievous compared to her previous roles. Noel Rayos and Antonio
Ferrer are new faces to me so it was a treat to see a sample
performance from them during the press conference. Jenny Villegas and Red
Nuestro also did a humorous duet that proved how splendid they are vocally.
When
asked how he plans to interpret the material, director Carlos Siguion-Reyna
told the media that he aims to show the freedom that our forefathers had and
also the cost that they had to pay in order to gain that freedom. He further
stressed that he wishes to explore divisions not just in the social and
economic classes but also in the interests (especially the self serving ones)
in people’s lives. He also plans to showcase the manipulations that people do
to each other and the deceptions that people have to go through in order to
gain power.
Hearing
him say all of this made me so intrigued since I never imagined a sarswela to
touch upon all of these. I am usually drawn towards the music in theatrical
productions but with this kind of insight coming from the director himself, it
made me anticipate Walang Sugat more. I admit that I am not really aware of
what a sarswela is, but I am glad that Tanghalang Pilipino’s 26th season
premiere offering will give me the opportunity to learn more about Filipino art
forms aside from just having me entertained.
