Hulkmania is running wild in Victor Maog's inventive new play, brother. Mu Performing Arts head Randy Reyes stars in TOT: The Untold, Yet Spectacular Story of (a Filipino) Hulk Hogan, which follows an immigrant boy who travels from the Ferdinand Marcos-ruled Philippines to the San Francisco Bay Area to meet his long lost parents. He journeys from a country filled with strife and military rule only to find himself in his lonely American bedroom conjuring up a pro wrestling fantasy to escape his new life. Mu stages the world premiere of Maog's unique coming-of-age tale at St. Paul's Park Square Theatre.

"...Although it’s been over 24 hours since I saw the play, I still haven’t quite made up my mind about it. There is a lot going on in the 90-minute show; in his director’s note, Randy Reyes describes tot as a play which explores “immigration, imagination, domestic violence, the American dream, bullying, and misogyny”. It’s an ambitious project for one relatively short piece, and perhaps unsurprisingly, none of these issues are dealt with as deeply or thoroughly as one might want. On the other hand, it does offer plenty of food for thought and employs some creative storytelling techniques."
