“Produced by Kularts

with Philippine Master Dance Artist Jay Loyola,

Creative Director Alleluia Panis, and Composer Florante Aguilar.

Using Shakespeare’s classic The Tempest as framework, Typhoon Maseg tells a magical tale of a once powerful and righteous tribal shaman chieftain, Pang-lima (Prospero), through original Philippine dance choreography and music. Set in pre-colonial times, on an imagined typhoon-battered island of Pulo in Palawan, Philippines, Pang-lima Manipulates and enslaves the deities of Pulo Island, Kapre (Caliban) of the Forest and Deres (Ariel) of the Water and Wind, into conjuring a powerful typhoon to sink his enemies’ balangay ship. Shipwrecked, his enemies are separated and lost in Pulo Island. Struck by his own unspeakable acts of injustice and manipulations, Pang-lima suffers gut-wrenching internal conflict threatening to destroy his very soul. Will he abandon his vengeful streak and end the hateful feud between their families or continue on the path of self-destruction?”
