Fresh from his critically-acclaimed
performance as the sublime paralytic in “Ang Huling Lagda ni Apolinario
Mabini,” ROEDER CAMANAG
shall once again reprise
his role in Gantimapala Theater’s EL FILIBUSTERISMO.
“ EL FILIBUSTERISMO ” --- the novel of national hero Dr.
Jose Rizal written by noted playwright Jomar Fleras narrates the return of the
protagonist of Noli Me Tangere, Crisostomo Ibarra, under the guise of the
wealthy jeweler named Don Simoun.
The role is being essayed by multi-talented actor Roeder
Camañag who is stepping into this role for the 7th time for
Gantimpala Theater Foundation. His foray as Don Simoun started in 1998 and then
again in 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Indeed, Roeder’s celebration of his
27th year as an artist in the entertainment and theater industry is
being etched with very significant roles
in the legitimate stage. He also won the 2013 Aliw Awards for Best Actor
(Musical) for “Stageshow” under Tanghalang Pilipino.
“El Filibusterismo, whose alternate title is The Reign of
Greed, is a very dark novel, it was set in a dark time, written during the dark
days of the Spanish tyranny, the themes progression is wheeled by an unseen
dark force, a force that is so powerful that it controls even the characters
trivial actions and choices that often lead to nothing but tragic endings. This
unseen and destructive force is greed,” said director Jose Jeffrey Camañag.
“It is the intention of this production to reconstruct
the face of greed as painted by the great Jose Rizal in this novel and to
resonate Rizal’s definition of greed as the key evil that chains and enslaves
the mind, heart and soul of a society away from the real path toward genuine
freedom,” Camañag continues.
“Through creative staging, powerful visuals, clear
storytelling and moving music, we hope to usher and challenge the audience
especially the students who will be watching this show as an aid to their
curriculum, to look beyond the entertaining value of our production and try to
listen to the remarkable messages embedded in Don Simoun’s confessions to Padre
Florentino,” states Camañag.
The artistic team of EL FILIBUSTERISMO include Joel Lamangan
(Artistic Director), Jose Jeffrey Camanag (Director), Andy Villareal (Lighting
Director), Joey de Guzman (Set Designer), Pauwie Garcia (Production Manager),
and Kate Butch Weaver (Stage Manager).
