Lysistrata (Redux)

Found tons of pictures in my backup discs and loaded all that I could on my new laptop (which I got on installment through the GMA cooperative), and online too. Sharing with you those I found of me onstage.

Did Aristophanes' Lysistrata for Dulaang UP in 2004 under Prof. Amiel Leonardia's direction.

In an endless banter here (over dominance of the sexes) with good friend, Margo Borgonia, as Lysistrata. I played the Commissioner.


What is that, soldier?

Losing the argument, Commissioner?

Here as one of the old men in the English version where Fonz Deza played the Commissioner.

Photos, of course, are courtesy of Dulaang UP.

The Chronicler's Creed

Where there's water and sun, where there are friends to see or new people to meet, where there's something new to learn, experience, or do, where there's life, there I will be.

LA POESÍA

Y fue a esa edad... Llegó la poesía
a buscarme. No sé, no sé de dónde
salió, de invierno o río.
No sé cómo ni cuándo,
no, no eran voces, no eran
palabras, ni silencio,
pero desde una calle me llamaba,
desde las ramas de la noche,
de pronto entre los otros,
entre fuegos violentos
o regresando solo,
allí estaba sin rostro
y me tocaba.

And it was at that age... Poetry arrived
in search of me. I do not know, I do not know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I do not know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
