The exhibit “Beyond the Barrelman,” which opens September 5 at Chicago’s Mercury Cafe Gallery, features 66 different works by 40 contemporary Filipino artists chosen by a five-man jury.

Coined after the barrelman figure, a popular wooden memento in the Philippines, “Beyond the Barrelman” aims to overcome stereotypes and sets out to prove that Filipino craftsmanship, indeed, goes beyond the barrelman, the oversized carved wooden spoons, seashell vases, and holiday parols. Filipinos have come a long way–we’re a race with world-class talent.

The second “Beyond the Barrelman” is organized by the CIRCA/Pintig, the Filipino American Network, and the Tahanan Cultural Group.

Asian Tosca, PETA, Philippine theater, Philippine Educational Theater Association

Giacomo Puccini’s La Tosca is reworked to adapt to local experience in Asian Tosca without losing the gripping plot and drama that have made it one of the most performed operas in North America.

Produced by the Philippine Educational Theater Association with Japan’s Black Tent Theater and Korea’s Nottle Theater, Asian Tosca narrates visions of passion, jealousy, betrayal, and revenge–emotions that are universal across cultures–but is also ripe with elements true to Asian culture, history, and heritage.

Directed by Soxie Topacio and Black Tent’s Kiritani Natsuko, PETA’s Asian Tosca aims to exceed the limit of a usual one-off project while touching the issues of art, politics, life, death, war, and gender. It runs at the PETA-Phinma Theater on August 29 and 30, with shows at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Regular tickets are P200. Student rates are P150.

Sidetrip, Howie Severino

She overcame polio and defeated a political dynasty to become governor of the second-largest province in the Philippines.  But Gov. Grace Padaca of Isabela, who will be receiving the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Governance at the end of August, may be facing her biggest challenge and risking her life by taking on the logging industry.

Thousands of her constituents are upset and hungry after Padaca started confiscating wood that was illegally cut in her province’s northern Sierra Madre wilderness, a global treasure of biodiversity.  It is a bold move that can threaten her popularity.  But instead of backing down, Padaca orders soldiers to march up a treacherous river in rebel territory to seize logs being stockpiled by illegal loggers.
