Ang Kawatan

Ang Kawatan

Directed by Vanessa Fe | Written by Maverick Avila

Mateo Robles has written the most talked-about novel in Cebu. Tonight, on live television, he gets to tell everyone how. But Ana is in the audience and she knows exactly where the story came from.

Ang Kawatan is a tragicomedy about a stolen truth and what happens when the person it was taken from refuses to stay silent. Set against the backdrop of a live televised book launch, director Vanessa Fe and writer Maverick Avila unfold a public reckoning that cuts straight to the heart of Cebu's creative community: who gets to tell our stories, and what do we owe the people who lived them?

Featuring 2TinCans Theatre Company members Lord Latonio, Dave Feril, Judee Kriselle Rallos, Shane Ayong, Grant Bacaltos, and Shiella Pesta?o-Gemperoa, with stage management by Regina Binueza.
