IPAG premieres Ming Ming

One turf, two families, three generations, and four characters: this sets the plot of the latest play of the Integrated Performing Arts Guild (IPAG) entitled Ming Ming.

Set in the heart of Moroland, Ming Ming recreates characters whose lives intertwine in a web of intrigue, politics, deceit, and romance. The play mirrors the anguish of three generations and the wars that drape an influential clan's conflicts.

IPAG reconstructs events and persons using the post-modern stage. The play penned by director-playwright Steven Patrick C. Fernandez whose major works have showcased the enigma and lifestyles of the island and its people re-invents local color for the modern stage.

The play's theme is a sensitive rendering of the conflict among politically-powerful Moro families: the need to cope with the changing conditions to survive, where tradition and religious fanaticism clash with the liberal ideas of the West.

Dance, visuals, a crisp plot, innovative direction, and meaningful storytelling in "Ming Ming" are the benchmarks of IPAG productions that have established the Guild as one of the country's leading repertory companies.

"Ming Ming" is produced with the support of the College of Arts and Social Sciencess, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Superferry, Pioneer Insurance and Surety Corp., 101.4 Star FM, and the MSU-IIT.

"Ming Ming" goes onstage 7:30 p.m. in February 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, March 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 2004, at the Rooftop Theater of the College of Arts and Social Sciences, MSU-IIT, Iligan City. It performs for Adindanao, the Mindanao Arts Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, at the Tanghalang Huseng Batute, 3:00 p.m. in February 22.
