Teatro Tomasino, the official university-wide theater guild
of the University of Santo Tomas (UST), culminates their 39th season: Let Thy
Art Illuminate with a smash hit comedy-drama play, Kapitan Sino based on Bob Ong’s novel and adapted for stage by playwright
Cyrene Mendoza on May 3-6, 2017 at the Albertus Magnus Auditorium, UST. The
renowned advertising practitioner and former Teatro Tomasino Artistic Director,
Franny Omampo directs the play as his energizing theatrical comeback.
Not Just Super Powers
Illuminating the current socio-political climate of the
country, Kapitan Sino is a tale of
Rogelio who possesses lightning superpower which he uses to rescue those in
need. More than a battle of good vs. evil, Kapitan
Sino examines Rogelio’s response to heroism at the expense of his happiness
and family, the consequence of people's overdependence on a hero, and their inherent
nature of being abusive and selfish.
On Comebacks, Passion
and Pseudo Heroes
Director Franny Omampo’s excitement is mobilized with the
socially relevant contemporary play’s visual delight and core lessons on pseudo
heroes, sacrifices, and change-seeking people. Omampo is also excited about collaborating
with friends from the industry, and the fresh talents from Teatro Tomasino.
When asked about what keeps the production together, “Innate
talent from each one of us who share the same vision for the play, and who
share the same passion for our arts, ‘yun
‘yung nagpapagalaw sa amin (those are the things that move us)”, Omampo shared.
The production features the comeback of members who have
been with the organization for the past 15 to 20 years, including one of the
country’s comedy icons, John Lapus.
