Presented by UCLA Asian American Studies 176: the Philippines and its Elsewheres In celebration of Cornell University's Southeast Asian Studies 70th Year and UCLA's new minor in Pilipino Studies, we invite you to join in the live streaming event of the play adaptation of Carlos Bulosan's short story "The Romance of Magno Rubio," produced by New York's Theater Ma-Yi. Streaming will be followed with Q&A and discussion with Dr. Joi Barrios, Filipino Studies lecturer and award-winning writer, UC Berkeley; actors Jojo Gonzalez, and Ron Domingo. This event honors Dr. Dawn Mabalon who continues to inspire us. Set in Central Valley, California in the 1930s, the play focuses on Magno Rubio, an illiterate Filipino farmworker and his pen-pal courtship with Clarabelle, a white woman from Arkansas who advertises in the back pages of a "lonely hearts" magazine. Believing he's found the woman of his dreams, Magno fantasizes about their life together, only to soon realize that reality and dreams do not always align. This recording theatrical production of one of Carlos Bulosan's short stories has been made available by Theater Ma-Yi, a three-decades-old award-winning Asian American Theater company. Organized by Professors Christine Balance (Cornell U) and Lucy Burns (UCLA); Sponsored by Cornell SEA, UCLA Asian American Studies Dept, UCLA Asian American Studies Center, UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Cornell U Asian American Studies. Co-sponsors Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP), Bulosan Center for Filpino Studies, Bridge + Delta Publishing, UCLA's Vietnamese Student Association.
