Remember those back story sequences of villains or antagonists where you only get snippets, usually with time lapsed, and there are only limited elements of their past experiences? This is the first impression that I have with Audire.
The stage is intimate with walls that get more and more restrictive as it goes further, with walls where the character could go through, with walls that the character could interact with. The set is accented by artwork by Nasser Lubay.
Before entering, you are requested to choose a prop. The improvisation of the production starts even before you see the stage. The audience determines the mix of items that would be used for the performance.
Audire is a Latin word that means "listen carefully." With music, including those by Jesse Lucas, in the forefront of this production, Angelina "Mailes" Kanapi reacts and reveals her soul on stage. This villain or antagonist turns out to be the beautiful soul of Mailes. Under the direction of Jeffrey Camanag, and the artistic direction of Roeder Camanag, the radiance of Mailes reaches a level that I could not have previously imagined. It is that radiance that you get drawn to, that kind that you don't want to miss.
You may describe it as madness but this performance of improvisation is madness that transcends to genius. Every performance is different, even the music changes. As Mailes would invite, I also urge you to take a ride with her and have this unique theater experience.
Audire will run every Saturday until November 7, 3PM, 5PM, and 7PM. Performance venue is at 1701 The Little Room Upstairs, Landsdale Tower, Mother Ignacia Avenue, Quezon City. For tickets, contact Roj Regoso at 09773062924.
