  7. Bonus Episode: Theater Themes - History and Politics

    Bonus Episode: Theater Themes - History and Politics

    First solo pod ep! Join me (please) as I muse on the relentless theater tradition of infusing storytelling for the stage with historical and political commentary. ...I mean, it's probably not a coincidence we're seeing more plays on historical figures, and martial law, and plays taking a jab at current political issues, right. What I first thought might be a "trend" turned out to be more deeply rooted. Mabuhay ang mga artista ng bayan! - Pau

    Pingkian

    Siguro narinig na natin ang pangalan na Emilio Jacinto o kaya naman “Pingkian” sa school o sa Hekasi class pero sino nga ba talaga siya? Sa huling produksyon ng Tanghalang Pilipino, mas nakilala natin si Emilio Jacinto, isang makabayang sa murang edad, ginamit ang armas pati panulat upang Rebolusyon ay ipag-alab. Hindi pa tapos ang laban with Anne, Dans, Pau, and Tonyo as we look at the hero’s overlooked story told in “Pingkian: Isang Musikal.” Follow @surelysgroup on Facebook, Twitter (now X), Instagram, and TikTok to be updated on our upcoming content!
