WATCH WO(E)MEN

"Dalawang babaeng gurong akusadong nag-iibigan"

"Dalawang lalakeng presong nagtalik sa salita"WO(E)MEN

It is 1934. In an all girls’ boarding school, a rumour spreads like a plague about two headmistresses having a lesbian affair. Meanwhile in Berlin, in a struggle to keep themselves sane, male homosexuals make love through words in a concentration camp under the watchful eye of the Nazis.

The woe of men, the woe of women, the woe of mankind. This summer, with two plays set in 1934, the Sipat Lawin Ensemble looks back on age-old taboos and examines the woe of men and women as they struggle in the midst of our sexually challenged and sexually changing world.
Acclaimed director, actor and production designer Tuxqs Rutaquio leads the theatre alumni of the Philippine High School for the Arts in breathing life to Joel Saracho’s Kwentong Bata (an adaptation of Lillian Hellman’s Children’s Hour) and Martin Sherman’s Lihis (Emmanuel Canteras’ translation of Bent).

Children’s Hour was adapted to film in 1961 by William Wyler starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine and James Garner, while Bent was filmed in 1997 by Sean Matthias starring Mick Jagger, Ian McKellen and Jude Law.
