IN BITUIN
Workshop Performance by Allan Samson Manalo
In Bituin is a semi-autobiographical performance about a Filipino American comic in search of his cultural identity and finds the love of his life in Manila only to tragically lose her 29 years later to cancer. The title is a play on the words "in-between" using the Pilipino word bituin meaning stars to describe the spaces between the light of his cultural identity and now, the darkness of his enduring grief.
