Multi-awarded film, television, and stage actor RICKY DAVAO steps away from goody-goody roles and makes life miserable for INSIANG in the stage adaptation of Lino Brocka’s landmark film which goes back on stage at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Tanghalang Huseng Batute beginning November 16, 2007.
Ricky plays Dado, the lover of Insiang’s mother whose desires on her lead to misery, death and ultimately, revenge. Playing alongside Ricky is Sheenly Vee Gener as Insiang and Mailes Kanapi as her mother, Pacing.
Already the recipient of an Aliw Award for his role in Insiang, Ricky welcomes the chance to revisit the role. “It excites me to still find new things about the character,” he says, while admitting performing onstage is what he finds most fulfilling. “I really set aside time to do theater productions at least once a year.”
Also in the cast of INSIANG are Mae Paner, Peewee O’Hara, Paolo O’Hara, Roeder Camañag, Donnel Bolaños, Vanni Liwanag and the Tanghalang Pilipino Actors Company. Presented by Tanghalang Pilipino, the resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, INSIANG is written by Mario O’Hara and directed by Chris Millado, with set design by Hesus “Bobot” Lota, lighting by Joey Nombres, sound design by Jethro Joaquin, and fight choreography by Jack Yabut.
INSIANG performances are at 8:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays from November 16 to December 2. For tickets and other information, call the CCP Boxk Office (832-3704), Ticketworld (891-9999), or Tanghalang Pilipino (832-2661), or visit www.brighteyedboys.com/insiang or http://www.tanghalangpilipino.com/.
