JC Santos and Cris Villonco |
The very recent discovery of gravitational waves can prove
endless possibilities. There is more to what we see right now in our world,
universe rather. What if there is life outside earth? What if we can travel
through space as fast as we can travel to the toilet when we wake up? What if
the future is out there in another world just waiting to happen? What if we
don’t do this and we don’t do that?
There are millions of what-ifs in this universe as presented
by “Constellations”. This is Red Turnip’s interpretation of Nick Payne’s
masterpiece which was first shown with high praises at the Royal Court
Upstairs. This love story offers different facets of realities and explores
free will and the theory of relativity.
Marianne meets Roland. Or Roland meets Marianne. Or maybe
they did not. He asks her out. Or she asks him out. Maybe she declined. Maybe
he declined. Maybe he got married to somebody else. Maybe they got married.
Maybe they did not.
Three-time Gawad Buhay winner Cris Villonco and Urian
nominee JC Santos shine in this probably most exhausting acting on stage.
Villonco’s skill is undeniable and Santos’ charm is breathtaking. Their
chemistry is astonishing. Constellations is brilliantly directed by Rem Zamora.
Red Turnip’s “Constellations” is currently on stage at the
Power Mac Center Spotlight Theater in Circuit Makati.
