Would Virginia Woolf Contemplate Suicide If She Were Filipino?
Written by Revan Badingham III
Directed by Dennis Gupa
Performed by Mark Hrynioch and Marc Ducusin
Montreal | 55 mins
Lemar and Warren meet in Montreal, but both are Filipino and gay, so they should have everything in common, right? Audiences quickly learn that there’s more than meets the eye and that generalizations based on sexual orientation or culture can be totally off-base.
With simple staging and even simpler costuming, this believable–date? Hookup? Friendship?–takes the audience on a journey of emotions from desire and joy to confusion and loneliness as they unpack their own histories, cultures and sense of self in this short romp.
Would Virginia Woolf Contemplate Suicide If She Were Filipino is playing at undercurrents until Feb. 18. Tickets are pay-what-you-can, ranging from $5 to $75. For more information and to purchase tickets, see the undercurrents schedule here.
