DFA Streams Ballet “Mir-I-Nisa” for Free: https://bit.ly/2zEKgOJ
In celebration of Eid’l Fitr or the Feast of Ramadan, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), in cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), will stream online the Philippine Ballet Theatre’s (PBT) production of “Mir-i-nisa,” a three-act ballet based on the award-winning story by National Artist for Literature Jose Garcia Villa.
The ballet production of “Mir-i-Nisa,” which premiered in 1969 during the inaugural season of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), was restaged last year to commemorate CCP’s 50th anniversary. The recording from last year’s show will be available on a limited 48-hour release on 29-30 May 2020 through the DFA’s official YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/XzWfM6099lk).
The project is spearheaded by the DFA’s Office of Strategic Communications and Research (OSCR) in partnership with the Office of Middle East and African Affairs (OMEAA) as a way to celebrate with the Muslim communities here and abroad. END
