Kisapmata

By Bianca Miranda

Winner of the 2024 Betty Mitchell Award for Outstanding New Play

When two Filipinx women meet at work, it's instant butterflies. A is a loud and proud queer femme, born in Canada and longing to connect with her culture, while B is an astute, enigmatic intern from the Philippines, yearning for intimacy. Their attraction accelerates in no time--sharing lunches, texting, flirting, kilig to the max But looming over their relationship is the painful reality that B must return home in just two short months. That's why they're determined not to waste a single moment, making the next sixty days the romance of a lifetime. But how long before their blissful bubble bursts?

Like an irresistible teleserye, Kisapmata is an enchanting and delightfully cheesy queer romantic comedy about the woman who got away but never left your heart. Bittersweet and beautifully nuanced, this love letter to queerness and Filipinx culture embraces the beauty of fleeting moments and the courage of letting go.
