Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman addresses one man’s repudiation to embrace change, as he confronts the issues in his life–memories, dreams, identity– all unfolding on the last 24 hours of his life. The story of Willy Loman has captured the audience, both English and non-English speakers, for decades since it premiered on Broadway in 1949.
This time, Filipino audience will have its chance to sympathize with Loman’s plight as The Cultural Center of the Philippines and Tanghalang Pilipino stage the Filipino translation of Miller’s play by Filipino poet and playwright Rolando Tinio.
From CCP’s description:
A powerful modern drama performed many times since its opening in 1949, in both English and non-English speaking countries, and in diverse range of languages and cultural contexts. Over the years, this play has stirred a number of intriguing interpretations. The universality of this piece is evident in its number of countless staging, 2 award winning movie versions and ranking 1st in The Best 50 Plays of the past 100 years by Entertainment Weekly (2003).
Tanghalang Pilipino’s staging highlights dreams, family and love in the context of post-war America and to be performed in a very intimate theater – where one can a most touch and smell the characters. Seating is treated as part of the stage design – it is not watching from afar but entering into the realm and milieu of the play.
