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.”

kpmata

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.

Each year, on her birthday, the child enters the world of enchanting shoes, where the Shoe Fairy gives her a pair of feet, allowing her to dance to her heart's desire. However, every time she leaves the enchanting world, she loses her feet and faces her father's disappointment. It takes a tragedy for her to truly understand the depths of her father's love.

Prepare to be moved by this touching narrative of SANDOSENANG SAPATOS—a musical that highlights the power of familial love and the significance of cherishing our loved ones, especially those with unique needs.
