presented by Pulang Maleta Collective
from Toronto
Five playwrights drawing from their distinct backgrounds in
film, dance, poetry and music form the Pulang Maleta Collective and share their
stories in their debut piece, BAGGAGE.
“Maria”- A woman's struggle between filial obligation and
the desire for a new life through a mailorder-bride arrangement.
“not my exotic”- Sunshine encounters a guy who is interested
in a lot more than a one-night stand.
“The Edge of Family”- Crime, dinner and an envious mother
exacerbate the decision of a young girl and her two men.
“Touch” - A young woman tries to navigate the world as a new
lesbian. Her mentor, a Filipino drag queen, helps her try and find love and
more importantly learn how to breathe.
“Claim Your Baggage” A humorous look at cultural shame and a
reminder that if you don't look back at where you came from, you'll never get
to where you're going.
