In July 2013, Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF), the theatre company that brought three BroadwayWorld.com (BWW) Philippines awards for their banner 2012 season production, will bring a new musical titled ‘Bonifacio: Isang Sarswela’.
After mounting ‘JOE: A Filipino Rock’sical’, Tañada chose to have Bonifacio to be the subject of his latest opus because he has always believed in courage and gallantry as important requisites for heroism. In fact, it is PSF’s most intense production ever to date.
“It is Bonifacio’s extreme love for country that made him sacrifice his life. Such love is the noblest kind of love; it is not personal, but selfless and munificent. How many of the youth of today have appreciated that love for country? How much of ourselves can we magnanimously offer for the good of our country and fellow Filipinos?” Tañada.
According to him, the main objective of the play is to inspire the audience in living a life of sacrifice.
Also, he mentioned and clarified that the play he is doing may not encourage an overwhelming act of heroism like offering one’s life, but it is a way to at least do something to make other people’s life better. It is helping the forgotten sectors of society; educating and inspiring the youth by means of the arts, visiting the prisoners, the aged, and the sick are good examples of modern Bonifacio deeds.
‘Bonifacio: Isang Sarswela’ is set to open its Press Preview night on Friday, July 19 at Tanghalang Pasigueño, 6pm with Vincent M. Tañada as Bonifacio. He will be ably supported by PSF’s home-grown artists like BWW Philippines awardee Cindy Liper as Gregoria de Jesus, Aliw awardee nominee Jordan Ladra alternates with Kevin Posadas as Emilio Aguinaldo, Monique Azerreda and Adelle Ibarrientos-Lim as Hilaria Aguinaldo with Patrick Adrian Libao as Emilio Jacinto.
