Synopsis:
In a mix of semi-autobiography and a queer adaptation of Rapunzel, De La Cruz explores the question:Who would you climb a tower for? Zelle, Princely Butch and a host of other characters chart this re-imagined, interactive urban fairy tale. “Part of the show is inspired by a Southern Philippines folkdance,” De La Cruz shares, “in this dance the malong (a ‘traditional “tube skirt” made of woven multi-colored cotton cloth,) can transform into a variety of shapes and uses. I found it an interesting metaphor for the gender roles and our identities based on these roles.”
