In the midst of globalization, global warming, poverty, the bombardment of information technology and media, what do we artists have to address as the primary target of our work? The major role of any art or media is to “influence” tastes, habits and possibly even points of views. The speed by which information is spread and the level of influence that it engenders challenge us to sharpen our messages to contribute not only to an awareness of our current social conditions but also to promote critical thinking among our audiences (no matter what age, gender and social status they belong to) through performances that are engaging and which make use of language and forms familiar to them; performances that both entertain and educate.
Our 41st Theater Season recognizes the role of the writer in crafting these performances and shaping the messages that will be sent to those at the receiving end of these messages - the audience. It will thus feature the Writer and his work. It will involve works of major Filipino writers as adapted by contemporary writers to reflect our current conditions. And in the same tradition, it will showcase works by European writers to allow both our artists and audiences to expand their perspective by allowing the works of these masters to mirror our own realities.
