“Tao Po”
avia_transparency_logo"Tao Po" are words uttered when one knocks on the door. On one hand, one cannot help but be reminded of “Tokhang,” which is the name of the government campaign against illegal drugs. It comes from the Visayan words Tuk-tok (knock) and Hangyo (Plead/persuade). On the other hand, "Tao po" could also mean "I am a human being."
"Tao Po" is a montage of narratives about extrajudicial killings in the name of the war on drugs. It raises the question, "Is extrajudicial killing the best answer to the drug menace?" After the show, there will be a dialogue / interaction between the audience, the artists, relatives of victims, human rights advocates and the organizers of the theater tour.
