It is an interesting enough project that is also a foregone conclusion: to stage one-act plays that have as centerpiece the Martial Law regime, which can now only be heavily and specifically contextualized in the present state of nation—volatile as it is, politically divided and confused as we are, congested with information, true and false.
Produced by Ladies Who Launch, Inc., there is a sense that Never Again: Voices of Martial Law is also particularly for the generation that almost voted Bongbong Marcos into the Vice Presidency, as it is for a public that is in the midst of a heated debate about whether or not deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos is a hero. Layer that with the month of Martial Law commemoration, and this festival can only be imbued with layers of relevance.
