CCP presents a light-and-sound show
The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) presents a display that features the interplay between lights and shadows, which is shown every night until Jan. 6, 2019.
A series of illuminated images, using stencils, were painstakingly made by creative hands from the production and exhibition department.
The light-and-sound play will also feature storyboards such as “The Promise of a New Year.” It features the different New Year traditions such as paputok, bumbong (bamboo cannon) and Media Noche. The display enables people to reflect on all the good things from the past year and delivers a message of hope for a new beginning.
“My team brainstormed on what could differently adorn the CCP facade; this time, reflecting on the meaningfulness of the season against the backdrop of sheer fanfare or auspicious display of lights and decorations. It was going back to basics and displaying our expertise in theater; the manipulation of light and a play on shadows, in particular,” said CCP production and exhibition department manager Ariel Yonzon.
The production team is composed of: assistant project director and designer Eric G. Cruz; production manager Nice Hervas; set supervisor Dexter Hernandez, with set assistant Amado Bonifacio III; GOBO artists Louie Mark Mendiola, Gee Pelaria, Camille Balistoy, Allan Fami, TJ Calma, Jacob Cezar and Claire Navarra; light designer Allan Fami, light consultants Danilo Villanueva and Louie Alcoran; and music designer Marvin Fabular.
The light-and-sound show is staged every night — at 6 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 9 p.m. intervals — at the CCP facade.
