Alice Reyes Dance Philippines' expansive repertoire of Filipino works continues to grow with its latest work, "Mga Kuwento ni Juan Tamad,"designed specifically for Children's Dance Theater.
The story follows the adventures of Juan Tamad, the misunderstood boy in town, and his loyal monkey companion, Matsing. Aided by Juan's unique ability to converse with animals and his innate love for nature, they set out to find the village's most prized treasure, the fruit of all their hard-work and labor stolen by the greedy 'Buwaya,' the 'Gintong Niyog.' A challenge he must complete to win the hand of Maria Masipag.
