Teatro Pinas : Sayaw Tungo sa Kalayaan: A Dance Musical Celebrating Philippine Independence at the Metropolitan Theater
For the celebration of our 126th Independence Day last June, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos commissioned the Alice Reyes Dance Philippines (ARDP) to come up with a new dance musical telling the story of our nation. This was Sayaw Tungo sa Kalayaan, performed at the Rizal Park on June 10. It was a popular and critical success, with many in the audience raving and asking for a repeat performance so they could bring their family and friends. The First Lady agreed that it should be toured around Metro Manila to allow more people to enjoy and be inspired by the show. On Sept. 6, Friday, SAYAW TUNGO SA KALAYAAN will be shown at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila. Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan has generously agreed to open the doors of the theater for two performances, a 3:00 PM Matinee for students and a 6:00 PM Gala for the employees of the City of Manila and guests. Sayaw tells the story of the Filipino, from ancient times to the modern age, through dance, music, and LED imagery....
