This chapter analyzes Bienvenido Noriega Jr.’s Bayan-Bayanan, a well-staged and critically considered play depicting a miniaturized version of the Philippines that Filipino nationals carry with them and continue to reshape in foreign spaces. This chapter zeroes in on the social contradictions that constitute flights and quests of Filipino migrants and immigrants as they negotiate their local identities and subjectivities, and transform them into diasporic ones. It centers tropes of fantasy and nostalgia with the view of excising notions of travel (i.e., global nomadism, itinerancy, and peregrination) from their class-based connotations of privilege and power, as commonly postulated in Western literature of mass movement across the globe. This chapter further nuances the tropes of fantasy and nostalgia with the tensions that come with liminal conditions of being home and away which particularly happen to Third World subjects.
