In keeping with its theme “Sibol”, the production is an exploration and showcase of the value and power of the theater arts not just a form of expression through elaborate costumes, lights, and acting talent, but an act of resistance and a bridge that links to the truth, especially the ones that are being suppressed and silenced.
“Marissa” is a ringing reminder that theater, and in fact, art, in all its forms, will continue to persist and prevail even in times of adversity and uncertainty. For Teatro Tomasino, this is a declaration of the unwavering commitment to create, deliver, and fight.
