 DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS:

Based on National Artist Abdulmari Imao’s “ANAK DATU”, the story revolves around a son of a village chieftain in Muslim Mindanao during the pre-colonial Philippines. Before he is born, the village is raided by pirates, and his mother gives birth in captivity. Hence, he grows up believing that his father is a former pirate. Only upon the death of the old man does the son discover the truth about his real father. This short story gave birth to Rody Vera’s stage adaptation adjacent to other events in the history of Mindanao and the personal lives of Abdulmari Imao’s family.

Prepare to be captivated as ANAK DATU explores themes of identity, heritage, and the pursuit of peace. Tanghalang Pilipino’s innovative production promises to transport audiences into a mesmerizing world where the past, present, and future converge.
