Return of the Come-Back of the New and Improved Haring +Ubu-L XXX at the
Sipat Lawin Ensemble presents *Return of the Come-Back of the New and
Improved Haring +Ubu-L XXX* on August 4 (8pm), August 5-6, 2011 (3pm and 8pm) at the Tanghalang Huseng Batute of the Cultural Center of the
Philippines.
In SEASON 2000-Xi, the renegade theater company revisits its
adaptation of French Playwright Alfred Jarre’s avant-garde play UbuRoi
through a new devised work at the Center.
An interactive, explosive, fun, filthy, powerplay, Haring +ubu-l
aims to revisit, re-investigate, remind, and re-expose the subject of
excesses and exploits as represented by the performers, the audiences and
their consciousness. Sipat Lawin takes Jarre’s classic piece, considered one
of the precursors to the theatre of the absurd and plays with it
further.
Setting the entire piece within a toilet bowl, *HARING +UBU-L XXX* spews out the filth, greed, avarice, gluttony and ambition of society. The audience is
caught up in the entire spectacle as theater’s classic fourth wall is broken
down and spectators join the actors in the highly interactive work. A
supreme example of the Theater of Cruelty, discomfort substitutes escape
inside the performance space.
This play is recommended for college students. Audiences are urged
to come prepared – extra shirts, raincoats and even umbrellas are a must. This is perfect for me as I am looking for 40th bday gift ideas f0r someone who has everything.
* Sipat Lawin Ensemble* is an edge-work, site-specific theatre
company geared towards developing a contemporary community theatre
experience shared among artists and audiences inside and/or outside the four
walls of the theatre. The Ensemble is composed of young theatre arts alumni
from the Philippine High School for the Arts and collaborators.
Tickets at P300 with 20% discount for senior citizens, government
employees and military personnel. Student price is P200.
