A Pinoy "Improv Everywhere"?

25 April 2011

Lately, I've been thinking about copying the Improv Everywhere concept to the Filipino setting.

Wikipedia defines Improv Everywhere as a New York-based performance art group, which carries out "pranks" a la "Wow Mali" style (minus the overkill). A couple of ideas I have in mind:

Idea 1: A video featuring a street gang intent in wreaking havoc. Their mission? To teach some citizens a lesson. Their victims? Everyone who pees in public. Their modus operandi? Hit and run. While riding a motorbike, gang members throw ice water at men peeing in public.

Idea 2: A spoof on the Axe ad machine. A poster featuring an Axe product that is too effective. The poster features a tricycle driver (the Axe user) who had too much of a good thing. He is looking blankly forward as he is being harassed and groped by his male passengers, burly biker men who unfortunately go gaga after a whiff of the driver's cologne.

Idea 3: A documentary of the country's first-ever Mano Po lane. It features the opening of Davao City's "Respect for the Elders" lane, a specially marked sidewalk in C.M. Recto, where volunteers have lined up and are putting strangers' hands against their foreheads in a show of respect. The lane, as the script would go, is aimed at revitalizing the Dabawenyo's respect for elders.

Idea 4: A video featuring a haunted jeep. An unwary passenger is forced to ride a jeep chock-full of other passengers wearing aswang costumes (and other Halloween paraphernalia). It's going to be a riot as the "victim" begins to realize he is all alone during the long, long trip to Calinan.
