Kigginawan: The Hidden Island, which juxtaposes technology and culture, is a thesis production to be staged by dance majors of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) on Dec. 6 and 7, 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., at the SDA Theater at the School of Design and Arts (SDA) Campus.
Directed by dance major Lea Klariza Roque and written by theater arts student Kyle Gabriel Confesor, the comedic production narrates the story of a tribe in Kigginawan, a fictional virgin island, and how the dynamics of their society will be greatly affected by the introduction of technology. It triggers a reflection on Filipino culture as it shows how the 21st century gift of advancement may either be a way to find or degrade the value of preserved history.
