Ang Kristo: Pasyondula (Passion Play) ng Teatro Balangaw. Buenavista, April 2 & 3, 2015


Buenavista, Marinduque. Ang Kristo: Pasyondula is a 3-hour passion play first mounted in 2006 by Teatro Balangaw, a Marinduque community theater group. It has been presented since then in Buenavista, Gasan and Boac and this year 2015, returns to the original town where local artists and municipal officials hope to make it an annual Holy Week event in this scenic and laid-back locale at the foot of the mystical Malindig volcano. The 2015 version features Joseph Biggel of PBB as the blind centurion Longinus who regained his sight when blood and water poured from the body of the crucified Christ when he pierced His side with a spear.
