University Theater Presents: Pagat: A locally written and produced play about the Chamoru spirit, culture and identity
By Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua and Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero
April 24-26 and May 1-3
University Theater closes its 2013-2014 season with the play Pågat, written by local
writers Dr. Michael Lujan Bevacqua and Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero, directed by Michelle
Blas, and featuring choreography by Vince Reyes of Inetnon Gef Pa’go.
Pagat explores the complexities of cultural identity and change through the lives
of four modern young adults and the memories of a cast of spirits, who share key moments
in the history of the Chamoru people. The play is set in a latte site in the jungles
of Pågat. The play also conveys the essence of the word Pågat, which means to advise
or give counsel, as both the modern characters and the ancient spirits help each other
work through personal struggles with identity, culture, and destiny.
