Finally visited the Manila Metropolitan Theater. It barely survived WW2 and is more than 90 years old (second photo from WW2 by J Tewel, Time Magazine).
There we watched Encantada by National Artist for Dance Agnes Locsin, where she applied choreography inspired by traditional Philippine dances called neo-ethnic dance. With music by Joey Ayala and Ang Bagong Lumad.
