Did you MISS seeing Bloodletting in person? Heard all the great things about this story of Filiipino American siblings, their encounter with an aswang (Filipino vampire), and how they untangled all their feelings about the Phillpines, their sexuality and each other?
Don't despair! For one week, starting November 17, PFP is streaming a performance of Bloodletting by Boni B. Alvarez!
Under the watchful moon, Farrah and her brother, Bosley, return to the Philippines to spread their father’s ashes. But an encounter with an aswang – a Filipino witch – awakens something in Farrah…a power that is ancient and terrifying and innate. Will she embrace her new-found power? Or let it destroy herself and her brother?
Rated PG-13 for emotional intensity and homophobic slurs.
A play written by Boni B. Alvarez
Direrected by Zenaida R. Smith.
