Last Wednesday night, I got to watch Lambana by Tipsy Tales at Eastwood Mall. I celebrated my reunion with my college best friend Janis with an immersive theater experience, and we weren’t disappointed!
It was my first time to encounter actors who talked to us during the show, and asked us what we wanted to do next. It was really my thing as I am a natural extrovert! I felt like I was part of the show. The characters were part of Filipino folklore, and it was totally aligned with my love for anything local. My favorite character was the duende, because she wore local textiles in her costume. Oh, and the kapre really scared me!
Here are some things to keep in mind when watching Tipsy Tales:
You are not allowed to take pictures of the play, and lockers onsite are provided to keep your bags and gadgets safe
They sell local publications onsite! Support local literature.
They have three experiences: child-friendly, regular, or scary. We got the scary one, and I was blown away by the acting.
The play can either be in English, or Filipino.
Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you will be walking around the huge set.
Bring a jacket as it can be quite cold inside the theater.
Restroom breaks are not allowed while the show is ongoing, so do your thing prior to watching the play.
Pictures with the cast are allowed after the show. It was fun chatting with them!
I highly recommend this theater experience as it made me and Janis happy and entertained. This was so much better than watching another movie or concert. I love the whole concept and the actors were amazing. Do check out tipsytales.ph for more details!
