This modern-day adaptation of Dr. Jose Rizal's classic novel 'Noli Me Tangere” will be staged until June 25 at the McCadden Place Theatre in Los Angeles.
As part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the Menzies Talent and KMM Ventures LLC, an independent film production company that aims to promote Filipino-American visibility in Hollywood, is staging the play "Hashtag Don't" , a modern-day adaptation of Dr. Jose Rizal's classic novel, "Noli Me Tangere."
We were able to interview by email three of the lead actors in the play—Arianna Basco , Casey Estorque , and Marco Torres . Marco took formal acting training with the Meisner Center, the Strasberg Institute, and the Groundlings School. He has appeared in films, commercials and music videos that have been shown on Netflix, HBO and Disney productions. A member of the Screen Actors Guild , Marco is extremely grateful to be cast in this modern-day adaptation of Jose Rizal's iconic novel and considers this foray into live theater as an exciting new milestone.
Have you worked with each other before? How was the experience working with each other? The director?I worked with Randal and Malou on their film "Voices," currently in post-production, and they were lovely. I even had the pleasure of sharing the screen with their daughter. Although it was a quick cameo, I could tell they were ambitious, talented, visionary artists that I'd want to work with in the future. And then #DON'T, by Mike Talplacido, manifested.
Please tell us more about your character and what it is about your character that you empathize with.I'm a single mother of two and there isn't anything that I wouldn't do for my children. Sisa feels like an army of one fighting for her kids, I know what that feels like. Sisa is fighting a system that is wrought with lies and corruption. I've been there both personally and as a Pinay growing up in America.
