The De La
Salle-College of Saint Benilde’s Technical Theater Program Batch 111 proudly presents
a reinterpretation of the Palanca Award-winning play, “Fluid”.
Written and directed by Floy
Quintos, the comedy is about young Filipino contemporary artists struggling to
make a name for themselves as they negotiate the tricky terrain between Love,
Art and Compromise.
“Fluid” is set to open on July 24
and shall continue to run on July 25 and 26 (1:00 pm and 7:00 pm) at the 5/F
SDA Theater, School of Design and Arts Campus, De La Salle-College of Saint
Benilde, 950 P. Ocampo St., Malate, Manila.
A press preview is set on July 23 at 7 p.m.
“Fluid” is written as a series of
scenes in different locations featuring three pairs of characters who seemingly
have nothing to do with each other. Amir is a struggling and frustrated young
painter whose life is about to be changed by Mira a wealthy art collector who dreams
of discovering new talent. Jom and Alben are passionate theater actors torn
between their passion for their craft and the lure of fame. Renata is a seemingly
batty orchestra coordinator out to defend the dignity of her orchestra when it
is hired to play at a society wedding by the overbearing events coordinator,
Simone. All these unique and clashing characters come together unexpectedly at
an art exhibit where their impulses lead to joyful mayhem.
The cast of “Fluid” is made up of
professional actors. Red Turnip Theater’s Ana Abad Santos who originally
created the role of Mira in 2004 reprises her role. Kalil Almonte last seen in
“Sintang Dalisay” and “Games People Play” plays Amir. JC Santos, fresh from his
tint in Hong Kong’s Disney Land and Singapore’s Universal Studio, plays the
ambitious Jom while Russell Legaspi last seen in this year’s Labfest plays the
earnest Alben. Amihan Tanedo Ruiz and Gel Basa both last seen in “Breakaway
Antigone” play Renata and Simone respectively. Musical Theater actor Tony
Falcon also appears in the show.
“Fluid” had its successful runs in
the University of the Philippines
The artistic and creative team of “Fluid” is led by Floy Quintos (Playwright and Director), Ellawyn Cruz (Set
Designer) and the students of DLS-CSB Major in Technical Theater Batch 111.
