Agham Theatre Company is set to re-stage the play Alamat on October 8 and 9 at the Music Museum. This dance-drama musical play tells the story of Daniel and his friends who are lost in the forest. They experience unexplained happenings around Orkidya, a magical place inspired by the paintings of Salvador Dali and Magritte.
Alamat was conceptualized by Patrick Almaden. It was originally staged at the Makati Parks and Garden Amphitheatre, based on a script spiced with contemporary lingo.
The music composed by Paulo Almaden uses acoustic sounds interspersed with ethnicity to create a fusion of music and art that make up the production. The dances, blocking, and movements are surreal as well, with movements taken from nature and animal entities.
Alamat, helmed by creative directors Agnes Macabuhay-Medina and Osler Ladia, takes center stage again this October 2007 at the Music Museum.
For details, please call 0918-2542354 and look for Tope.
Performance dates: October 8 and 9
Venue: Music Museum, Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan, Metro Manila
