The Sarimanok Travels
Noh Space
San Francisco, CA
Take a trip to the Philippines in this beautifully staged one-man show by performer-playwright Francis Tanglao-Aguas. The "Sarimanok Travels" is "Fires in the Mirror" meets the "Vagina Monologues" but based on a traditional Pilipino folk tale about a mystical bird that brings harmony to a kingdom.
Francis weaves this tale full of stories and odd characters with dance movement and poetry. This story is ultimately about one's connection to a 'homeland'. Ayeta, the beautiful queen of Mahallikha spurns royal suitors from more powerful lands, earning their wrath which they pass on to their descendants. But the Mahallikhenos are resilient, with the magical sarimanok bird on their side, thriving in the paradise that is their land.
But what happens when the sarimanok bird is stolen by foreign powers?
Francis Tanglao-Aguas explores his version of the mythical roots of the Philippines, hoping to answer why Pilipinos find themselves leaving their beloved motherland.
The stage is bare. A pool of light shines on a circle of rice. Francis steps into the center. And the travels begin.
