Focus Productions and Services proudly bring to the stage “PIRING” (blindfold) - a reflective portrayal of one of the most controversial issues in our country and the world today - Child Pornography.
It shows the interplay of how poverty and parental influence greatly affect a child’s well-being. The play will be staged this coming December 4, 2011 at the Pacific Grand Ballroom of The Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino at 7:30PM.
The stage play depicts a 13-year old girl being ordered to strip naked in front of a computer and a web cam for profit. Deemed by the public and government as unlawful and inhumane, it will be raided by policemen, taking all the abused children to a government facility for protection and refuge. Perlas is one of those children who are rounded up. Opposite to her will be Anne who is a licensed nurse and a graduate student. Things are about to change as Perlas' and Anne's world will collide. As part of her (Anne's) thesis she is tasked to observe and investigate Perla’s life whereby the first meeting won’t be as easy as Perlas resists opening up to Anne. As the play unfolds the theme progresses to a battle between what is real and what is not. Anne will eventually be able to appreciate some things in her life, and will see the true purpose in pursuing Social Work while Perlas, on the other hand, will reveal not only her own story, but the stories of real people around her that are often untold, kept, covered.
