Abstract

Excerpt: The daring relocation of milieu is at the core of all cross-country and -era adaptations. PETA’s Arbol de Fuego is an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. At first glance, the transplanting from turn-of-the-twentieth century Russia to Marcos-era Negros seems warranted enough, there being essential parallelisms on changing social order, broad class antagonisms, and the inevitable comeuppance supposedly due the bourgeoisie.
