Fresh
from his critically-acclaimed performance as the sublime paralytic in
“Ang Huling Lagda ni Apolinario Mabini,” Roeder Camanag shall once again
reprise his role in Gantimapala Theater’s El Filibusterismo.
"El Filibusterismo" --- the novel of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal
written by noted playwright Jomar Fleras narrates the return of the
protagonist of Noli Me Tangere, Crisostomo Ibarra, under the guise of
the wealthy jeweler named Don Simoun.
The role is being essayed by multi-talented actor Roeder Camañag who
is stepping into this role for the 7th time for Gantimpala Theater
Foundation. His foray as Don Simoun started in 1998 and then again in
2005, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Indeed, Roeder’s celebration of his 27th year as an artist in the
entertainment and theater industry is being etched with very significant
roles in the legitimate stage. He also won the 2013 Aliw Awards for
Best Actor (Musical) for “Stageshow” under Tanghalang Pilipino.
“El Filibusterismo, whose alternate title is The Reign of Greed, is a
very dark novel, it was set in a dark time, written during the dark
days of the Spanish tyranny, the themes progression is wheeled by an
unseen dark force, a force that is so powerful that it controls even the
characters trivial actions and choices that often lead to nothing but
tragic endings. This unseen and destructive force is greed,” said
director Jose Jeffrey Camañag.
“It is the intention of this production to reconstruct the face of
greed as painted by the great Jose Rizal in this novel and to resonate
Rizal’s definition of greed as the key evil that chains and enslaves the
mind, heart and soul of a society away from the real path toward
genuine freedom,” Camañag continues.
“Through creative staging, powerful visuals, clear storytelling and
moving music, we hope to usher and challenge the audience especially the
students who will be watching this show as an aid to their curriculum,
to look beyond the entertaining value of our production and try to
listen to the remarkable messages embedded in Don Simoun’s confessions
to Padre Florentino,” states Camañag.
The artistic team of EL FILIBUSTERISMO include Joel Lamangan
(Artistic Director), Jose Jeffrey Camanag (Director), Andy Villareal
(Lighting Director), Joey de Guzman (Set Designer), Pauwie Garcia
(Production Manager), and Kate Butch Weaver (Stage Manager).
