In Bituin

In Bituin is a semi-autobiographical performance about a Filipino American comic in search of his cultural identity, who finds the love of his life in Manila only to tragically lose her 29 years later. The title is a play on the words "in-between" using the Pilipino word bituin meaning stars to describe the space between his cultural identities and now, the transformative resonance of his enduring grief.
