Emulsyon at Erehwon Center for the Arts

'Emulsyon' is a twin bill featuring Kanakan-Balintagos’ “Loyalist Redux,” which premiered at the CCP’s Virgin Labfest in 2016, and Rody Vera’s “Indigo Child,” which won a Palanca Award in 2017.

Loyalist Redux,” which was also featured in “Never Again: Voices of Martial Law” in 2016, explores the opposing ideologies between a pro-Marcos parent and her anti-Marcos son. The 30-minute play looks into the impacts on Filipino families, especially those who suffered under Marcos’ dictatorship.

“Indigo Child” tells the story of Felisa, a former Filipino rebel caught by military officers in the later years of Marcos’ martial law.  She was detained, tortured, and raped. Now, she has to confront her past before her grown-up son.
