Mula sa Kulimlim’ poster from Virgin Labfest Facebook page
To say that this production hit the jackpot with this cast would be an understatement. Timothy Castillo does the teenage devil-may-care attitude with equal parts pa-cool boredom and youthful excitement. We are reminded here of Jonathan Tadioan’s comedic timing, his ability to build upon characters and see these through to their logical conclusions – absurd, fantastic, real as that might come. But it is Mayen Estañero who is critical to this narrative, and she is perfect: her joyful butihing maybahay is informed by the depth of her difficulties and sorrows, and you watch her going to town with this stereotype through to its unusual unraveling.
