The Bakla Show
Bindlestiff Studio
San Francisco, CA
Bindlestiff Studio is proud to present the first ever BAKLA SHOW! The bakla or gay male in the Philippines is mostly stereotyped and ridiculed as the campy effeminate crossdresser or hairdresser. Bindlestiff's production takes a more inclusive view by bringing the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, downe and transgender artists to the forefront. Filled with poignant, provocative and hilarious stories, the Bakla Show challenges preconceived notions of what it means to be Filipina/o, American and queer. Vignettes include a Filipino style debut that takes on a new meaning of "coming out" to a futuristic story about a robotic mail order husband who isn't quite what he seems. Join Bindlestiff Studio as we celebrate the struggles, joys and love of being bakla.
