Lia Lilagan

Lia Lilagan is a Filipino actress and writer from Manila who transforms lived experience into theatrical language without losing either the specificity of the life or the discipline of the art. Her work is structurally precise and emotionally unguarded; she is unafraid of ugly material and renders it without sentimentality or self-pity. As a performer, she is equally at home in comedic precision and total emotional exposure, often in the same breath. She conceives work that demands the full range of what a body and a voice can do, and then meets that demand herself.
