| Description |
 TICKETS FOR THIS SHOW ARE ALSO AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS!
Jason Magabo Perez presents The Passion of El Hulk Hogancito, an exhaustive digression from traditional literary and performative practice. Part literary reading, part lecture, part homage to childhood heroes, and part performative historiography, this semiotic imbalance wrestles with authorship and manic obsession, presenting an historical momentthe murder conviction of two Filipina nurses in the 1970sas undeniably personal, traumatic and of course, always, of course, political.
The show will also feature CLICK by Allan S. Manalo, an eerie, twisted monologue about obsessive infatuation, Stevie Wonder, and frappuccinos. Written inside a Manila Starbucks, the anti-hero, Bick, performed by Dennis Rodis, is based on a true-life composite of a university student who failed to act upon his fantasies.
JASON MAGABO PEREZ, writer and performer, received his M.F.A. in Writing & Consciousness from the New College of California. His short fiction has been selected as a Finalist for Narrative Magazines 30 Below Story Contest and Fiction Contest, and is forthcoming in Witness: Issue XXIII. A VONA Summer Voices Writing Workshop alumnus and a featured artist for the New Americans Museum and the AjA Project, he also has been invited to perform at the La Jolla Playhouse. Currently, he is writing a novel and teaches for the Ethnic Studies Program at the University of San Diego.
ALLAN S. MANALO is a Filipino American writer, director, producer, and stand-up comic, who has performed in over 400 colleges and comedy clubs throughout 47 states. Manalo was the co-creator and Artistic Director of the Filipino American experimental comedy troupe, tongue in A mood. He served as the Managing/Artistic Director of Bindlestiff Studio until moving to Manila in 2003, where he taught and produced standup comedy. Today, he has returned to Bindlestiff Studio as its new Artistic Director. As a writer, Manalos works have been featured in Filipinas Magazine, Manila Times, Manual, STAGE PRESENCE: CONVERSATIONS WITH FILIPINO AMERICAN PERFORMING ARTISTS, LIWANAG II, and ZYZZYVA Literary Journal.
