A
cradle of corpses—a river filled with soldiers and armed forces—lies in the
heart of Iraya. The “Fish-Hair Woman” floats on, consoling mourning families by
retrieving bodies of their loved ones with her twelve-meter hair. Will these
families find justice? Will the “Fish-Hair Woman” redeem her beloved Iraya and
her heart’s peace?
De
La Salle University’s premiere theatre organization, the Harlequin Theatre
Guild, concludes its 47th season with “Fish-Hair Woman.” It is a musical based
on the acclaimed novel by Merlinda Bobis and adapted for the stage by renowned
writer, Rody Vera. Directed by ALIW award nominee and the guild’s Artistic
Director and Trainer, Romualdo Tejada of PETA, the production will put you in
war-stricken Iraya. “Fish-Hair Woman” unfolds the story of Stella in the midst
of the conflict through music composed by Dodjie Fernandez. The production features its intimate set-up with
the theatre-in-the-round format, designed by Joseph Duran. Katsch Katoy’s
design lights up set despite the dark stories of its characters.
