And just like that, the curtains close on the 12th KURIS International Theater Festival & Workshops.
In this photo are stories that will now live beyond the stage — shared meals, sleepless preparations, nervous beginnings, loud laughter backstage, difficult conversations, new friendships, silent lessons, and moments that changed us in ways we may only understand much later.
Some are smiling with full hearts.
Some are emotional because goodbyes are never easy.
Some are still thinking about the next production, the next idea, the next story to tell.
But all of us carry home the same thing: gratitude.
For a few days, we became one community bound by theatre, learning, and the courage to create together. And perhaps that is what Kuris has always been about — not only performances and workshops, but people finding each other through art.
From The Performance Laboratory, Inc., thank you to all our resource persons, panelists, participants, facilitators, and partners — the USLS Artists Hub, the University of Saint La Salle, The Negros Museum, USLS Maskara Theatre Ensemble, Roy’s Hotel, Teatrokon: West Visayas Theatre Network, and the Negros Occidental Provincial Government.
Madamo gid nga salamat.
Thank you for the conversations, the memories, and the theatre.
Until we meet again under another set of lights.
