SYNOPSIS
Tanghalang Pilipino's KISAPMATA is a theatrical adaptation of the film by Mike de Leon, considered one of the best works in Philippine cinematic history, which is based on National Artist Nick Joaquin’s crime report titled “The House on Zapote Street.”
Once upon a time, a retired policeman, his wife, and his daughter, lived inside a house in Zapote Street - A haven of domestic bliss, a home of love and order, and a portrait of the perfect Filipino family. Until one day, the daughter falls in love with a man. Suddenly, the home is under threat. The world is not safe. The Filipino family must be defended, at all costs. Tatay knows best. Trust in Tatay. Trust no one else.
KISAPMATA invites audiences to witness the unraveling of a "perfect" Filipino family on stage, brought to life by the Tanghalang Pilipino Actors Company. Experience the tension and drama as love and fear collide within the confines of a seemingly idyllic household.
