“Building the Character of Imelda Marcos for the Stage is a Challenging Journey” | So Hot

How do you portray a character that spans from a 16-year-old girl to a complicit, corrupt individual? We explore the creative process of building the “Imelda” character for the stage. Because historical figures like Marcos and Aquino often have abrupt ends rather than theatrical arcs, Here Lies Love creates a unique perspective: a character who starts as a follower of the regime and undergoes a visceral awakening. It’s a challenging look at human rights, ill-gotten wealth, and the reality of power that must be presented to the world.
