"LARAWAN, THE MUSICAL," Film Showing, Villa Escudero, February 23, 2019




The highlight of the day tour of Villa Escudero was a screening of "And Larawan," the film adaptation of "Larawan, The Musical," which is based on National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin's play, "A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino," first published in 1952. The movie was produced by Culturtain, and the producers and other people behind the production (Director Loy Arcenas, Producer Girlie Rodis, Celeste Legaspi, and Rachel Alejandro) were in attendance, and provided very interesting information about the making of the movie during the Q&A session that followed the screening.
