Join
us in the heart of the SOMA
Pilipinas Cultural District
for Bindlestiff Studio’s
production of TAGALOG 2017,
a collection of one-act
plays written and performed
in the national language of
the Philippines. With
creative use of live English
surtitles, non-Tagalog
speaking patrons alike can
enjoy the innovative, brave,
new voices selected from the
prestigious Virgin Labfest
of the Cultural Center of
the Philippines. The annual
festival celebrates the best
unproduced, experimental
works from emerging Filipino
playwrights, and Bindlestiff
Studio is proud to pair
their work on this side of
the Pacific with talented
local Bay Area
artists.

Li-Leng
has been working in
theatre for over 20
years both on and off
the stage. She has
worked internationally
in venues from The
National Theatre in
London and the
equivalent in Australia,
the Melbourne Theatre
Company, to ancient
castles in the UK and
town squares in Poland.
As a director, devisor,
collaborator and an
actor Li-Leng founded
Fine Line Theatre
Collective in Sydney
with a group of
similarly trained
performers, their first
piece Walk Me! won a
Sydney Fringe Theatre
Award and went on to be
studied by Drama
teachers across Sydney
and NSW. She believes a
director’s role should
be to inspire, support
and help their actors
flourish, whilst
creating powerful, life
changing and innovative
theatre.
Bindlestiff Studio Thanks You!
