NADIA: Un Musical Chavacano is a musical adaptation of the children’s book “Nadia and the Blue Stars” by Francesca Nicole Chan Torres published by CANVAS.PH. It presents to us the story of a young girl named Nadia, who lives in a village filled with flowers – most special of all are the blue flowers that cover the large expanse of land. War arrives and burns all the flowers in Nadia’s village. Wanting her flowers to grow back, Nadia is forced to face threats or risks losing the only place she calls home. How will everyone survive? How will everyone recover? The young Nadia will show her community how. The musical play was created to commemorate the 2013 Zamboanga Siege.
This musical adaptation is written and directed by Zamboangueño theatre director Kiko Miranda with original Chavacano compositions by Zamboangueña singer-songwriter Jana Jumalon – Alano. The production will also feature the stage design by Zamboangueña artist Amihan Jumalon, Choreography by Karl Alexis Jingco and Musical Direction by JP Braulio.The production will feature the members and collaborators of Teatro Ateneo de Zamboanga, the resident theatre organization of ACCA.
