In the heart of Makati City lies a haven where creativity thrives and diversity is celebrated — Circuit Makati. Known as the arts and culture district of the city that serves to provide a platform for Filipino artists to showcase their talents, Circuit Makati is gearing up to commemorate Pride Month this June in truly spectacular fashion.
Through the years, Circuit Makati has grown and expanded its horizons, offering more venues, platforms, and initiatives that support the arts. And in embracing the spirit of inclusivity and individuality this month, Circuit Makati is proud to present two captivating theater productions that illuminate the beauty of love in all its forms: “Bawat Bonggang Bagay” featuring Jon Santos at Samsung Performing Arts Theater, and Anton Juan’s “Choosing” featuring Liza Diño and Ice Seguerra at Power Mac Center Spotlight Blackbox Theater.
“Bawat Bonggang Bagay” is a partnership between The Sandbox Collective and The Samsung Performing Arts Theater, presented in part by Avida, an Ayala Land Company. It is a Filipino translation of Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe’s “Every Brilliant Thing.”
It’s an emotionally raw and moving piece about mental health and finding the beauty in the little things.
Anton Juan’s “Choosing (not a straight play)” is a production from Fire and Ice productions in collaboration with The Power Mac Center Spotlight Blackbox Theater. It is a conscious retelling of a woman and a transman’s journey of finding each other. It sheds light on their relationship obstacles, their sexual consciousness, their individualities, and their commitment to the choices they make in order to find true happiness. “Choosing” is a groundbreaking and powerful play that focuses on a love that goes against all odds.
These theater productions serve as a poignant reminder that love is love, and that every individual deserves to be celebrated for who they are. For “Bawat Bonggang Bagay” tickets, visit Ticketworld. For “Choosing (Not a Straight Play)” tickets, visit Ticket2Me.
