To those who doesn't know Mr. Bembol Roco and Ms. Cherie Gil, they are both actors on the stage and film industry. Bembol Roco started his acting career December 1974, while Cherie Gil is one actress who took my breathe away in the series Cebu (aired during the early 90's). Seeing them right now, shows that they have what it takes to last in an industry (film) that is both critical and ever changing.
Meeting two veteran actors and knowing that they would share a stage for a time is something worth looking into. This February, Bembol Roco and Cherie Gil will be part of PETA's 47th season closing piece Arbol de Fuego, an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Cherry Orchard. To those who are not familiar with Chekhovian play's, it is one piece wherein characters have subtle nuances that makes them complex and simple at the same time. Confusing? Don't be, for that is the magic of Chekhov's character. After 3 readings, their characters are still waiting to be seen but promising glimpses were shown that night.
For Ms. Cherie Gil, it was a blessing for her to be presented with characters that are strong; plus being onstage again is a way for her to be true to the acting muse. For Mr. Bembol Roco, PETA is his home and when they call, he answers it with grace. Having a moment to chat with them was quite divine. Me comparing notes with Bembol about the type of artist of yesterday from that of today; me hearing Cherie about her life after losing her brother.
Can't wait to see them onstage doing their respective roles in Arbol de Fuego this February and chat with them about their character discovery and development.
