The playwright Kamila Sediego discusses her new play Homecoming, which is having its world premiere at The Cultch (02-12 May 2024), with Joseph Planta.
Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Starting Thursday at the Historic Theatre at The Cultch is the world premiere of Homecoming, a play by Kamila Sediego. She joins me now to talk about the show, that features three generations of Filipino women, who hop between an ocean and time, memory and dreams. The show is part of The Cultch’s seventh annual Femme Festival. I’ll ask Ms. Sediego, who joins me now about the show that reflects on cultural identity and familial duty, and in that important context of being from The Philippines, and coming to a place like Canada. It’s a personal story, and universal at the same time. I’ll ask Kamila about its genesis, and the place she writes from as somebody being born here, and finding her way to her roots. It’s a journey that not all of us take, and certainly not at the same time. Kamila Sediego is a playwright and dramaturg, who is a Playwrights Theatre Centre Associate, and a resident dramaturg of Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre’s Creation Lab. She is also the creator of Engkanto. Homecoming begins in previews Thursday, 02 May 2024, and runs until Sunday, 12 May 2024. Visit www.thecultch.com for tickets and information. It will also run 14-18 May 2024 at the Evergreen Centre in Coquitlam. Homecoming is directed by Hazel Venzon, and its cast includes Rhea Casido, Lissa Neptuno, Lisa Goebel, Carmela Sison, and Aura Carcueva. We taped this interview one week ago. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Kamila Sediego; Ms. Sediego, good morning.
