5 Reasons Why You Should Watch Red Turnip Theater's Tribes

-
With performances from August 4 to September 4 at Power Mac Center Spotlight, Circuit Makati, Red Turnip's latest play, Tribes, is a must-see! Here are the reasons why:

1. The Cast
During the Press Night, Director Topper Fabregas described his cast as a dream team, a dream cast. And they definitely are. Each cast member's effective acting tells their character's individual stories effectively. So effective that you end up almost intimately knowing each one. Grab a ticket now to witness Dolly de Leon, Teroy Guzman, Cris Pasturan, Thea Yrastorza, Kalil Almonte, and Angela Padilla move, speak, and sign to the struggles of identity, community, family.

2. The Stage and Seating

TicketWorld's layout
translates to this when you enter the theater:
The red zone is P1,800 per seat and the rest is priced at P1,200. Tickets are available at TicketWorld.

Each side literally gives a different perspective as the actors move in and out of the stage. For the widest view get a red seat from the biggest section.

3. Scene 7
No, you don't have to count scenes. You'll know it when it starts. The actors were unainimous in citing this scene as one of the highlights pof the play. Just make sure that you ready your heart for it.

4. The Script 
Despite being about a Jewish British family, Tribe is very relatable. As much as it opens one to the struggles of the main character, it also shows the struggle of a person with mental illness, plus those of people who can't get through life they way want to. Everyone in it is practically an egotist but it is clear where each is coming from. Bite and chew on every word and the play might even help you in dealing with your relationships.

5.  Everyone Involved Behind the Scenes
Leading them are the following:
Set Design: Ed Lacson
Production Design and Costume: Marta Lovina
Lighting Design: John Batalla
Sound Design: Teresa Barrozo
Sign Language Instructor: John Xandre Baliza

Need I say more about how great Tribes is?

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation. The result is an experience designed not only to be heard, but understood. Listening as Learning Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey is buil...
