Shared Spaces
April 29 to 30 (Black Box Theatre, Ateneo de Manila University)
Set in a world where grander issues obscure individual experiences, Shared Spaces celebrates and reiterates the experience of the individual.
Six people blur the line between the enormity of contemporary concerns and their intimate circumstances. Through humour, discourse, or tears, they lay out their personal encounters with sexuality, religion, depression, relationships, and more, in pursuit of a representation of present day’s society; a community of individuals, with lives far more intricate than we are led to believe. With music by Kerrigan-Lowdermilk accompanying the written pieces, Shared Spaces aims to establish fresh, member-created productions as a stable part of Ateneo Blue Repertory's repertoire.
Shared Spaces will run on April 29-30 and May 5 and 7, 2016, at the Black Box Theater, Ateneo de Manila University. The play will be open to all audiences. Tickets are priced at P300 each.

Tapas: Spanish Design for Food
April 30 (Metropolitan Museum of Manila)
The exhibition “TAPAS. Spanish Design for Food”, organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Manila and AC/E – Acción Cultural Española (Spanish Cultural Action), in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in the Philippines and the Instituto Cervantes de Manila, feature more than 200 objects and instruments, videos, photographs, and installations to explore the interaction between design and gastronomy, two creative disciplines enjoying a boom in Spain and currently achieving international acclaim. The exhibition opens to the public on April 1, 2016 at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila and will be on view until June 16, 2016.
The Tapas’ tradition best exemplifies Spain’s true social nature. When a group of friends gets together at a table to taste portions of widely varying flavors, it’s more than just a way to enjoy food – it’s also a great way to share an experience. This is Spain’s message to today’s world: to bring people together for real social interactions by enjoying Tapas.
