Cultural Nite is an annual theatre production combining the art of drama, dance, and musical performance presented by the University of Calgary Filipino Students’ Association. This year will mark the celebration of our eighteenth showcase “Cultural Nite XVIII: Tabo Time Machine” which is about the story of a teenage girl that learns the values of family and her Filipino culture all while incorporating traditional dances of the Philippines as well as the young musical talent within our community. During the course of the play, the characters are thrown back into the 80’s by a time traveling tabo, a device used for bathing in the Philippines, to the first time in which her parents had immigrated to Winnipeg and started their family. Learning to bridge the cross-differences between generations and culture, the story brings forth the encouragement for viewers to reflect and embrace the roots of their cultural heritage.
