About
When two Filipinx women meet at work, it's instant butterflies. A is a loud and proud queer femme, born in Canada and longing to connect with her culture, while B is an astute, enigmatic intern from the Philippines, yearning for intimacy. Their attraction accelerates in no time-sharing lunches, texting, flirting, kilig to the max! But looming over their relationship is the painful reality that B must return home in just two short months. That's why they're determined not to waste a single moment, making the next sixty days the romance of a lifetime. But how long before their blissful bubble bursts?
Like an irresistible teleserye, Kisapmata is an enchanting and delightfully cheesy queer romantic comedy about the woman who got away but never left your heart. Bittersweet and beautifully nuanced, this love letter to queerness and Filipinx culture embraces the beauty of fleeting moments and the courage of letting go.
• While growing up in the Philippines, Bianca and her mother bonded by watching teleseryes, or soap operas.
• Bianca loves to craft, specifically junk journalling and collaging. She loves blind boxes and collects children's books.
• First produced by Chromatic Theatre and Lunchbox Theatre and presented by One Yellow Rabbit as part of the 38th Annual High Performance Rodeo at Vertigo Theatre, Calgary, from January 30 to February 18, 2024.
When two Filipinx women meet at work, sparks fly. A queer femme born in Canada and an enigmatic intern from the Philippines dive headfirst into a kilig-filled romance, knowing they have only sixty days before they must part forever. A love story to cherish for a lifetime, Kisapmata is a bittersweet, delightfully cheesy queer rom-com like an irresistible teleserye, celebrating queerness, Filipinx culture, and making the most of life's blissful moments.
Two Filipinx women revel in a blissful romance on borrowed time.
"Kisapmata is a testament and an embodiment of how Filipinos love-this duality of loud and grand gestures and these quiet sacrifices made in the silence of obligations and responsibilities. It reminds the audience of the truth that love knows no bounds."
