Luzonia is in the midst of an economic depression. The downturn was the result of a drought that had affected their number one export, lumpia. The people of Luzonia turn to a new Chancellor who has promised them a bright and prosperous future. In the town of Cavite, Luzonia, we find a once glamourous and prominent cafe suffers because of the economic downturn. Cafe Cavite sits in the heart of the country surrounded by lumpia plantations. Mike, a young aspiring filmmaker, is ecstatic over the newly elected Chancellor Zapanta. His sister, Anne, owns the cafe and is looking for a new singer to revive the cafe. Their mother, Elizabeth owns a plantation outside of the cafe. To solve the declining lumpua industry, the chancellor sends over a liaison, Captain Jasper to inspect and restructure the lumpia industry. Luzonians are desperate to not only find a way to save their country, but a way to save their lives. About Luzonia This year, Akbayan wanted to break the PCN status quo. So, we created Luzonia. What exactly is Luzonia? Luzonia is a metaphor of the Pilipino-American culture. In other words, if Pilipino-Americans had their own country it would be Luzonia. Luzonia makes references to the Fili- pino Farmworkers Movement, the People Power Revolution, Veteranos, and even the rise of “YouTube Stars.” We implore you to dive deep into our country that is Luzonia and examine it’s characters and conflicts and relate them to the rich Pilipino & Pilipino-American history.
