"DO,WAGER: a performance diptych on the vestiges of the Philippine American War" (JUNE 2019)
Part 1: Devised by the Atlantic Pacific Theatre ensemble and directed by Brisa Areli Muñoz.
Part 2: Written by Claro de los Reyes and directed by Artem Yatsunov & Marion Elaine Lopez
Atlantic Pacific Theatre’s performance diptych play format juxtaposes two distinct theatre experiences in a single presentation. In the case of DO,WAGER, Part 1 is a devised participatory history play utilizing educational theatre conventions while Part 2 is an experimental one act play. APT’s performance diptych plays aim to band together theatre artists, public artists, and educators working to create an experience that situates itself between: history-based education, participatory theatre, and the experimental theatre tradition. *The play premiered in 2018 as part of Downtown Art's Performance | Social Justice Artist in Residence program (May 2018).
