Bindlestiff Studio's Touring Theater Production of Alamat |

 Bindlestiff Studio Celebrates Filipino American History Month with Touring
Theater Production Alamat Production Makes Stops in Three Bay Area Theaters
San Francisco In commemoration of the Filipino American History Month in
October, Bindlestiff Studio, the epicenter of Filipino American arts, today
announced an upcoming touring theater production of writer Rodolfo Carlos Vera¹s
Alamat (Legends), a performance project about identity, history and folklore.
The play will run for eight shows starting on October 6-8th at El Camino Theater
in South San Francisco, October 21-22 at Serramonte del Rey Theater in Daly City
and ending on December 9-10 at the Diego River Theater of City College of San
Francisco.
The play is ready for booking outside of San Francisco.
Directed by Louie Pascasio and performed by resident Bindlestiff Players, the
play features the braided story of three different generations of Filipino men
dating back to the 1904 St. Louis World Exposition in Missouri when a large
group of indigenous Filipinos came to America clothed in their sacred
traditions, haunting chants and pulsating beats. Alamat is a
story about reclaiming one¹s heritage through myths and folktales waiting to be
retold and reawakened.
³Bindlestiff Studio believes in the role of the arts in building vibrant
communities which take pride in celebrating the diversity of its values,
traditions and history,² said Artistic Director, Louie Pascasio. The play
creates a mosaic of dramatic storytelling fusing traditional forms and stylized
improvisations in drama, music and choreography.
Now in its eighth season as the epicenter for Filipino Amercian Arts,
Bindlestiff Studio, continues to expand the horizon for Filipino dramaturgy with
Alamat. The production in supported in part by Theater Bay Area Cash Grant.
For booking information or to make reservations call (415) 255-0440 or email
info@bindlestiffstudio.org.
More About Alamat By Filipino writer, Rodolfo Carlos Vera, Alamat (Legends) is a
story about identity, history and folklore. Pat, an American-born Filipino of
northern Philippines Kalinga tribal ancestry, visits his parents¹ homeland for
the first time to bury his father, Gadiaman, a warrior who came to the US in
1946 after serving United States Army Air Force Far East (USAAFFE) in WWII. For
the first time Pat meets his 85-year old grandfather Ochas, a Kalinga who had
come to America in 1904 and whose desire to reclaim his lost dignity still
haunts him. The story carves out a life montage for these three men juxtaposed
with myths and legends that speak of truths, parallels and folk insights
considered archaic in modern times but whose wisdom is more enduring than time
itself.
About Bindlestiff Studio
Founded in 1989, Bindlestiff Studio is the nation¹s only permanent
Filipino-American experimental theater space. A community-based performing arts
venue dedicated to the cultivation of emerging and established Filipino American
artists, Bindlestiff is anchored in the Sixth Street South of Market Street
community where the highest concentration of Filipinos,
including many World War II veterans, in San Francisco reside. For nearly ten
years Bindlestiff Studio has educated the public about Filipino American culture
and the arts through original and experimental works, public workshops,
concerts, readings, and other events with the integration of various disciplines
including performance, visual and literary arts,
film/video and music. Displaced from its original theater to make room for badly
needed affordable housing units, Bindlestiff has currently been re-located in by
the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to an interim theater space. The theater
is awaiting its chance to return to its original home, pending the success of
raising one million dollars.
