The Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez is a small black box, so seats go earlier than at the main theatres. Performances are Fridays to Sundays only. The show is in Filipino.

About this event

Tanghalang Pilipino adapts a children's story by Cheeno Marlo Sayuno into a musical set just after the Manila Film Center collapse of 1981. A young girl keeps learning the pandanggo while her family waits for a father who was working on the building. Jonathan Tadioan directs, and the piece is written for children without softening what happened.
