Tanghalang Ateneo's presents "Fireflies," Feb. 9-25, 2012

Tanghalang Ateneo presents Suzue Toshiro's FIREFLIES, English Translation by David Goodman. Fireflies is a love story of the post-industrial age ("post-industrial" is a synonym for contemporary. The industrial age was the age of machines. The post-industrial is the age of technology as in contemporary Japan. The concerns are pretty much existential or the self.) Three interconnected couples are trapped in emotional alienation. "There must be a hole in our hearts. And in mine, and in the hearts of everyone in the world." 

Playdates are February 9-11, 15-18 and 22-25 (7 PM) February 11, 18 and 25 (2 PM) Rizal Mini-Theater, Ateneo De Manila University, Quezon City. Directed by Ricardo Abad and BJ Crisostomo; Set Design by Ohm David; Costumes Design by Lhenvil Paneda; Lighting Design by Jonjon Villareal; Sound Design by Dr. Michiyo Reyes.
