The Sandbox Collective’s new arm, Sandbox Co.labs, is bringing back a strictly limited run of its hit one-act play, Bawat Bonggang Bagay.
Bawat Bonggang Bagay is the Filipino-translated staging of Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe’s Every Brilliant Thing. It is an intimate and interactive play that follows the story of a young child growing up with a parent suffering from mental illness.
The show continues the conversation on mental health by bringing real and pressing issues to the forefront and creating a safe and communal space where audiences become part and parcel of the storytelling.
Award-winning playwright, translator, actor, and director Guelan Luarca worked on the translation and original staging in 2023.
Jon Santos will return for his fourth run of the show, following sold-out engagements in 2023 and 2024.
